The Syllabus Plus iCalendar connects to your teaching timetable in the timetabling system and displays it as a calendar along with your Outlook calendar(s).

The new Calendar is added to the Other Calendars section and is automatically updated on a half-hourly basis from the timetabling system. You can now use this calendar to view your teaching timetable. This calendar can be shared with others and overlayed onto another calendar.

Notes:

1. The teaching timetable calendar is not integrated with your main calendar and appointments on this calendar do not show your time as busy when using the Meeting Scheduling Assistant. You can drag the class over to tour calendar, however this will lose the connection and will not update if a change is made in the timetabling system.
2. You must be connected to the Flinders network to do this. If you're working from another location, please use the VPN service to connect first.
