It's possible to sync your Handshake Calendar with your SU Calendar (the one associated with your '@syr.edu' email address). It's a really quick and simple process that takes only a few clicks.
Log In to Handshake
- Visit https://syr.joinhandshake.com and click on "Syracuse University Login"
- You should be prompted with the Syracuse University Single-sign-on prompting. If your browser doesn't auto-fill it, type your SU NetID and password, and click "Log In"
Set up your Calendar
- In Handshake, click on your name in the upper right, then click User Settings
- In User Settings click on Calendar Sync in the left navigation menu.
- In the middle of the page are a few clickable items. Click on Authorize Calendar Sync which you should see below 'External Calendar Sync'
- You should be shown a list of possible calendar providers. You'll want to choose Office 365 as shown below:
- In the next dialog, check the box that says I agree to the Cronofy Terms of Service and Privacy, and click the green button that says Link Office 365 Account
- The page will refresh and show you a Microsoft MFA (Multifactor Authentication) dialog asking you to Pick an account. If you're presented with a dialog already showing your SU account, click it.
If you don't see this, don't worry - it just means that you haven't used this browser with Microsoft Multifactor authentication before - so type your SU Email address and click 'Next'
A dialog will pop up asking you to confirm the permissions being requested by Handshake and its calendar/sync tool, Cronofy. Click on Accept and, after a few moments, you should be returned to the Handshake Calendar Sync page.
In the Choose a Calendar drop down list, make sure your calendar is selected.
