How do I import an iCal file into my Calendar?

Click on the iCal button next to the event you would like to add to your calendar and your web browser will appear and prompt you to download an ics file. The ics iCalendar file can be imported into various calendar programs.

If you are importing into iCal (Mac Users), you will receive a prompt to select which iCal calendar to import your deadlines.  If you do not receive a prompt, save the .ICS/iCalendar file to your desktop (or directory of choice) where you will be able to drag and drop the file into iCal. 

If you are importing to a Google or Outlook calendar, you will want to Save the file to your desktop or directory of your choice and follow the corresponding instructions below.

In Google Calendar
  1. Click the down arrow next to Other Calendars, select Import Calendar.
  2. Click Browse and locate the saved iCalendar (ICS) file.
  3. Select the Google Calendar then click Import.

In Outlook Calendar
  1.  From the File menu, click Import and Export
  2.  Click Import an iCalendar or vCalendar file (.vcs), then click Next.
  3.  Locate the folder that contains the file you want to import.
  4.  Click OK.  The deadlines should now appear on your calendar.

Please note: For Outlook 2010 users, you will need to click Open, after File to Import.
