Import your Class Schedule into Google Calendar

This document explains how to import your class schedule through myGeneseo into your Google Calendar.

Calendar Export/Import

If you're a student using Google Calendar, you likely want to add your class schedule. Instead of doing it manually, you can use myGeneseo's new calendar export feature.

  1. Sign in to myGeneseo. On your dashboard, if you see the Courses service on your dashboard, skip to step 4.

  2. Click the wrench icon in the left menu (second from the top).

  3. Under the list of Services, you’ll click Courses. This should show you a screen of your courses for the week for the current or next term.

  4. In the upper right-hand corner, click the three dots.

  5. In the pop-up menu, click Calendar Export. This should download a .ical file to your computer.

  6. Follow Google's instructions to import it into Google Calendar.

 

If you’re a faculty member using Google Calendar:

  1. Sign in to myGeneseo. On your dashboard, if you see the Faculty Courses service on your dashboard, skip to step 4.

  2. Click the wrench icon in the left menu (second from the top).

  3. Under the list of Services, you’ll click Faculty Courses. This should show you a screen of your courses for the week for the current or next term.

  4. In the upper right-hand corner, click the three dots.

  5. In the pop-up menu, click Calendar Export. This should download a .ical file to your computer.

  6. Follow Google's instructions to import it into Google Calendar.

 

Importing multiple times may result in duplicate classes. You can remove duplicates by deleting the event and selecting "All Events in the Series."

All current and future classes you've registered for should now appear in your calendar, but please take a very careful look. 

You will see classes on a number of days that should not have them:

  • Final exam days and Study Day.

  • Holidays and Breaks (e.g. Labor Day, Fall Break, Thanksgiving Vacation)

  • Courses that start late or end early in the term (e.g. H&PE)

  • Also, final exam times are not included.
