Minerva Calendar - Staff Guide

There are two Minerva Calendar views:

  • Global Calendar view - this will show your upcoming dates and meetings across all your modules.
  • Module Calendar view this is accessed from within a module and will only show dates relevant for that module.

IMPORTANT

The Minerva Calendar is separate from your online Teaching Timetable (also known as MyTimetable) There is no automatic synchronisation between the two of them.

Accessing the Global Calendar view

From the black Global Navigation menu, select Minerva Calendar, this will show your upcoming dates and meetings across all of your modules.

Accessing the Module Calendar view

From within a Module, from the Navigation bar select the Calendar tab. This will only show dates relevant for that module.

  • You can also add a module schedule and your availability if you want to.

All the events you create within a specific Module roll up into the Global calendar. 

We recommend staff not manually enter module teaching timetables into the Module Calendar as these will quickly become out-of-date. Students are advised that the Minerva Calendar is separate from the online teaching timetable, and not all activities or assessments will show here. Students should continue to use the link to their online teaching timetable via the MyTimetable link on the Minerva home page, or by using the UniLeeds app.

Your Minerva calendar can be added to other calendars you may use including Outlook and Google calendars.  You can also bring those calendars into the Minerva Global calendar.
