Demands of the Academic Calendar
� Registrars are responsible for AND TO their Academic Calendars
� Our day to day operations adhere tightly to them.
� Every event or task and the date it occurs is part of our mind-set, anticipating logistics.
� Calendar and event planning software help . . .
� It is vital for a registrar to know every day what needs to be done, how and by whom it will be performed, and how this is communicated to staff and the rest of the College/University community.

How to Automate?
� Wanted a Calendar/Task application for PC that would:
❡ Create events or tasks associated with specific dates
❡ Allow notes and URL’s to be associated with the tasks
❡ Allow tasks to be categorized by area or performer
❡ Allow tasks to be flagged if completed
❡ Publish the calendars as web pages
❡ Allow the tasks to be “re-dated” X number of weeks in advance, to reflect relative dates of the next Quarter.
❡ Many Google searches later . . . Found “CalendarScope”
