• First locate your SharePoint Calendar

• From Actions menu above, click on down arrow, select Connect to Outlook
• Internet Explorer will pop up the box prompting you to Allow the connectiong or Cancel it.
• Click on Allow

• Followed by another IE security Warning, Click Allow to continue

• Followed by Microsoft Office Outlook confirmation, Click Yes to allow Outlook to integrate SharePoint Calendar

• SharePoint Calendar should be available (side by side) in your Outlook

• You can set you new SharePoint Calendar in overlay mode by clicking arrow  on the tab of the SharePoint Calendar
• Each calendar and the events that belong to it are color coded for easy identification.

Note:  Your SharePoint Calendar permission will determine type of access to your SharePoint Calendar (i.e. read, write, delete, etc).  For SharePoint Calendar permission, you will need to consult with SharePoint admin.
