Import to Your Calendar

Once you've generated your .ics file, import it into your preferred calendar application:

Tips & Troubleshooting

⚠️

Missing course?

If a course doesn't appear in your calendar, it may not have a defined meeting pattern (scheduled time). This is uncommon. The best solution is to add the course manually to your calendar application.

🌍

Wrong times?

Ensure both your Workday account and personal calendar are set to the same timezone. Mismatched timezones can cause classes to display at incorrect times.

🔄

Keep it updated

The .ics file is a static snapshot. If you add, drop, or modify a course, you must re-export your schedule and import the new file.

📅

Organize by term

Create a dedicated calendar in your app for each academic term. This makes it easy to delete or hide all your classes at once if you need to re-import a fresh schedule.
