How do I create a recurring event in a calendar as a student?
When creating a new event, if you want to create the same event multiple times for yourself or for a group, you can create a recurring (or repeating) event. Repeating events creates multiple copies of the event every day, week, or month. For example, you may create a recurring group event for a weekly study group. This may help keep you organized and prepared for your course.
Tips for recurring events:
- Weekly events are repeated on the day of the week of the first event. For example, if an event is created on a Monday and repeats weekly, the next instance of the event will appear on the following Monday, regardless of the actual date.
- Monthly events are repeated on the day of the month of the first event. For example, if an event is created on July 6 and repeats monthly, the next instance of the event will appear on August 6.

Enter a title for the event [1].
Depending on how you added your event, the date may be populated for you. If not, enter a date in the date field [2].
The calendar times may also be populated for you in the From and To fields [3]. To edit, use the dropdown or enter the start and end time for your event. To create an all-day event, leave the From and To fields blank so there is no start and end time for your event.
In the Frequency drop-down menu, you can set recurring calendar events [4].
If a location is required, enter a location for the event [5].
In the Calendar drop-down menu, select the calendar you want to add the event to [6].

In the Frequency drop-down menu [1], you can select from multiple recurring options, including no repeat, daily, weekly, monthly, annually, every weekday, or a custom frequency.
