Import external calendars

Export your calendar file from another tool, such as Outlook Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Google Calendar, by generating an ICS file and then importing the file into your Schoology calendar.

4. Click More Options.

5. From the Date Range list, choose the amount of calendar data to include in Schoology, or click Specify dates to enter a custom date range.

   • There is a limit of 1,000 events for the Schoology calendar.

   • If you choose a large date range or select the whole calendar, your file may be too large.

6. Click Ok, and then click Save.

Export from Apple

1. Open the Calendar App.

2. Click the File menu.

3. Select Export, and then choose Export...

4. Name your calendar file and click Export.

Export from Google

3. Click Import & export.

4. Click Export.

5. Click Export to confirm and download a ZIP file.

Import the file to a Schoology calendar

After downloading your ICS file, log in to your Schoology account to import the file to your personal, course, group, or school calendar.

1. Navigate to the calendar.

2. At the end of the calendar, click Import.

3. Click Attach File and locate the exported ICS file to upload.

4. Click Import.

   1. You must have appropriate permissions to import calendars into a school.

   2. The maximum ICS file size is 100MB.

   3. The maximum number of events to import is 1,000.

You can also add your Schoology calendar to an external calendar, so changes made in Schoology automatically update your other calendar.
