To use it: just go to the Student Portal and navigate to your timetable. A small icon will pop up in the toolbar - click that and you can probably work out the rest :)

Still works in 2019, a real time saver!

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.
