UBC Courses Calendar: Streamline Class Scheduling
UBC Courses Calendar is a free Chrome extension designed specifically for University of British Columbia students, facilitating the integration of their course schedules into Google Calendar. This tool allows users to convert an Excel file downloaded from Workday into a more manageable format, automatically creating a sub-calendar titled "UBC Courses" within Google Calendar. After installation, users must grant permissions for the extension to access their Google Calendar.
To use the extension, students need to download their course information from Workday and then upload this file through the extension. The process involves selecting the downloaded Excel file and clicking "Sync courses." While the extension attempts to accurately upload classes, it is important to note that some details, such as class timings and locations, may not always be present due to limitations in the Workday Excel output. Additionally, the tool may not register classes during Winter break or reading week, and users may encounter minor bugs during initial setup.
