The Calendar

You can customize the title of the Calendar or Schedule by clicking on Website Settings 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.

Keep in Mind:
  • 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.
