Unimelb Timetable to iCal

Converts the Unimelb timetable page into an iCal file

Unimelb Timetable to iCal Chrome Extension

Unimelb Timetable to iCal is a Chrome extension designed for University of Melbourne students. It automatically converts their academic timetable into an iCalendar or .ics file. This file can be imported into various calendar platforms like iCloud, Google Calendar, or Outlook Calendar. The extension fetches semester start and end dates from the Unimelb academic calendar and scrapes all relevant timetable data, including subject details, time, and location. Other features include the ability to include university week # events and exclude mid-semester breaks. Bug reports can be submitted on the creator's GitHub repo.

Excellent app. Very convenient. I was recommended this by the IT person at Stop1 (the most helpful they've ever been haha) Would only suggest if the calendar could somehow adjust for the 1 week break that occurs during semesters. For eg. the app plots weeks 1-13 whereas officially the Uni calendar spans weeks 1-12 and one week in between for a break (eg. Easter). I find myself manually correcting this because deadlines are based on the official week number set by the university. Otherwise it's a fantastic app.
