How to Get an Oracle Calendar Account

Your Oracle Calendar account user ID is your Net ID. When you receive confirmation that your calendar account has been created, go to the CITES Password Home Page to set your password. Use your Net ID and password to access this page. Uncheck all other boxes and leave only the Oracle Calendar box checked.  Type in a new password and verify it, then click on "Set Passwords". After the password is confirmed, click on "Quit & Logout".

Subsequent password changes can be made within Oracle Calendar: from the desktop client, go to top menu, choose Tools, then click Change Password. From the web client, click on the key icon Change password icon (fourth from the right) to change your password.

As soon as your password is confirmed, you have immediate access to your calendar via Oracle Calendar web client.

You can download Oracle Calendar desktop client from the CITES Software WebStore (it's free). If you prefer, have Library IT install the desktop client for you by logging an OTRS ticket.

After the Oracle Calendar desktop client is installed on your computer, there is a a one-time configuration process.
