Timetabler iCalendar enables staff and students to subscribe to the service to receive and view their personal timetable on their mobile device and several third party Calendars (e.g. Google).  When a staff member or student is added to Celcat Client, their College email address is added automatically; enabling the feed to be downloaded.

The link is unique to your timetable only and should not be shared with others.

This calendar appears as an overlay in Outlook, i.e. a separate calendar that can be made viewable or hidden by the user. 

• Available to both Students and Staff with a College email address (with an email address in their email field on the Celcat record).

• The overlay does not affect the users’ other calendar.
• The feed can be hidden at any time.

Timetable Updates

"While every attempt will be made to minimize alterations to timetables, in some circumstances changes may be unavoidable. It is the individual responsibility to check the timetable regularly and refresh this for any updates, ensuring you have the correct information to attend your classes. If you print a copy you must check back for alterations as activities are likely to be updated, particularly during the first few weeks of term."

Subscribing to iCalendar feed on different devices

Modern versions of client calendars such as MS Outlook, Google Calendar, Moodle and 30 Boxes etc... have the ability to subscribe to CELCAT Calendar feeds. Once subscribed, you don't need to manually refresh the data or reconfigure your calendar for each new academic year, it will all happen automatically. 

Note: The frequency of the request/synchronisation of calendars depends entirely upon the calendar client which reportedly vary from 1-3 hours (Apple and Outlook) to 8-24 hours (Google). You should consult your calendar client's documentation/support for the exact details.

If you require to have your timetable calendar in several devices, you can subscribe to each device you want to view it on or store it on a Cloud-based system that will be used as a shared location.
