Information:
To change your default notification settings, follow these steps:
- Log into OU Email at webmail.oakland.edu, the Google Apps button in the top-right corner of the page, and click on Calendar.
- In the calendar list on the left, click the three stacked dots next to the appropriate calendar, then select Settings and sharing. Scroll down to the Event notifications section.
- Here you can select the notification method from the drop-down menu and enter the desired amount of time before an event to be notified. If you'd like to add additional notifications, simply click ADD NOTIFICATION at the bottom of the section.
- While changing your notification settings at the bottom of the screen, a message will appear, notifying you that the changes have been saved. There is no need to click save when you are done.
Please note that when you make changes to the notification settings for events on your calendar, the changes will only apply to you. Invitees or those who have access to the events will receive notifications according to their own Google Calendar reminder settings.
