Before You Start
You will need the following before you can complete this task:

Getting Started
Gmail
Your Wharton Gmail address is based on your PennKey username and thus comes in the form of pennkeyusername@wharton.upenn.edu. When logging into Gmail.com, please ensure you are typing in your full address (including the @wharton.upenn.edu) instead of just the username.
Google Calendar
|
Your calendar is connected to your Wharton email address (username@wharton.upenn.edu). This means that all your classmates also have a Google calendar, and you can see their Free/Busy information if they choose to allow that. This can be a powerful scheduling tool for learning teams and other collaborative projects. |
Note: If you forward mail to a personal Gmail address, you will not have the ability to RSVP for event invites sent to your Wharton Gmail address, however you will still be able to add the event to your calendar.
