1. The Solano/SLO campus member can go into their **Outlook Settings (Gear Icon in top right corner)** **> Calendar > Shared Calendars**, choose **Share a calendar **and **select their Calendar.**
2. Then **search for the Solano/SLO campus member** they want to share with and **share the calendar.  **

<span style="color: #0747a6">*The Solano/SLO campus team member should receive an email and be able to access it directly from the message.*</span>

> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**
