It offers many options and is very easy to use:

  • In addition: Color coding events, time zone options
• Option to set reminders before an event
• Daily view, weekly view, monthly view, agenda view, + more
• Sharing calendars (edit/view options)
  • Viewing multiple calendars at once
• Importing calendars (from other calendars, .csv files)
• And more!

Overall, it is a good way to keep track of your classes, extracurricular activities, work, and other events – especially during Dartmouth's packed 10 week term.

Outlook.Outlook Calendar is also compatible with many browsers (browser link), and it has apps on the Apple and Android app stores (Microsoft Outlook – calendar is one part of the app).

If you are at Dartmouth, you already have a free Outlook account, so it is easy to begin using Outlook Calendar. It disappears after you leave Dartmouth though, so be careful – at that point you would have to pay use it. Outlook Calendar offers the same options listed above for Google Calendar.
