Instructions to add ECS Assessment Due Dates to external calendar services

You can add your assessment due dates to an external calendar service that supports importing from an iCal source.

Disclaimer: ECS accepts no responsibility for missed due dates resulting from the use of external calendar/reminder services.

Google Calendar

  1. Go to the 'add from URL' page on Google Calendar.
  2. Enter the webcal address shown on the ECS Assessment Calendar and click on import calendar. Please note: this URL is unique for each student.

Setup syncing on Android phones after completing above steps

If the calendar does not appear on your Android phone you need to do the following:
  1. Open the Google Calendar.
  2. In the top left, tap Menu
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. Tap on 'ECS Assessment Calendar' (or the webcal URL entered if the name does not show). If you don't see this calendar listed, tap Show more.
  5. At the top of the page, make sure Sync is on (blue). You'll only see the Sync setting for calendars you've created, but not your primary calendar (this is usually called "Events" unless you've changed its name).

Note: It might take some time for your events to show up after you turn on sync.

Apple Calendar

  1. In Calendar, choose File > New Calendar Subscription.
  2. Enter the webcal address shown on the ECS Assessment Calendar, then click Subscribe.
  3. Enter a name for the calendar (ECS Assessment Calendar for example) and choose a color to help you identify it on your calendar.
  4. Choose iCloud from the Location menu and set Auto-refresh to 'Every day', then click OK.
