iCalendar, vCalendar

Subscribe to or download a calendar

If you have a desktop calendar, software program or PDA that works with iCalendar (ics) or vCalendar (vcs) files, you can subscribe or download the Iowa State calendars below.

iCal on the Mac

Apple's iCal software works with iCalendar, as does the Mozilla calendar. If you subscribe to one of the calendars, you'll need to check the "refresh" box. However, please don't set your subscription to refresh every 15 minutes. Refreshing once a day is sufficient. These calendar files are updated early each morning.

Importing to MS Outlook (PC only)

You also can import the calendar files below into your MS Outlook. A few words of caution: Once a calendar has been imported, the only way to delete its files is by hand. Also, if you import the same file several times, you'll get duplicate entries on your calendar. To import a file to Outlook, download it to your desktop and use Outlook's "import" wizard to select "import an iCalendar or vCalendar file."
