The following directions will integrate the current day's events plus the following 120 days. Thus, even if an event 6 months into the future has been entered into the CVM Calendar, it will not be displayed in your ONID calendar until 120 days prior to the event. This limit can be changed, but the more events your calendar lists, the slower your calendar will perform. If you need to look for events further than 120 days into the future, please visit the CVM calendar website. Reoccurring events such as Pet Food Sales and Student Organization meetings, will display past the 120 day limit.
