h2. The Calendar
You can customize the title of the Calendar or Schedule by clicking on [Website Settings|The Navigation Bar#Editing the Navigation Bar] and entering new text, but be aware that the custom text will not appear in the page title, which will display either 'Calendar' or 'Schedule'. However, the custom text will appear in the breadcrumb navigation, the left vertical navigation, and the browser title bar.
h6. Keep in Mind:
* Students can receive an automatic notification when the class/section website is updated, including additions to the schedule, by subscribing to a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed.
* To change the range of dates displayed in the Schedule from a term to a full calendar year, select that year from the Term dropdown list on the Edit Homepage.
