How do I import a calendar into Google calendar?

After reading this article students, faculty, and staff should be able to:

  • Import a calendar saved as one of the following formats into their Google Calendar
    • .csv
    • .vcs
    • .ical

 

Note: 

If you want all these events on an entirely new calendar, you will have to create one separately prior to importing.

 

Import a Calendar

 

  1. Open Google Calendar.
  2. Next to Other Calendars click the drop-down arrow, then Import Calendar.
  3. Click Browse to choose the file you would like to import (.ical or .csv), then click Open.
  4. Select the Google Calendar where you would like to import these events, then click Import.

 

Note:

Recurring events may not be recognized when importing from CSV files. In this case, individual items will have to be readjusted.
