K-State Calendar

K-State Calendar is the campus-wide planner/calendar for K-State faculty, staff and student staff. It can be used to manage departmental resources, such as rooms and equipment, to schedule group meetings, as well as for scheduling appointments and for time management. K-State Calendar, using Oracle® Calendar, replaced the former Netscape Calendar. K-State calendar is available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris platforms.

Getting Access to K-State Calendar

Former Calendar users - You do not need to request a K-State Calendar Account. If you had a Netscape Calendar account, you automatically have a K-State Calendar account. You will need to download, install and then configure the new calendar client to begin using it.

New Calendar users - K-State personnel not currently using the calendar may request a K-State Calendar account. New users can still download, install and configure K-State Calendar prior to this time.
