Along with scheduling recurring events (like classes, tutoring, work hours, study hours, etc.),
you can also import a list of non-recurring events. This is ideal for when you have a list of
events that are more random in their dates/times, that you want to import into your Google
Calendar. Examples of these types of events would be the TCNJ Academic Calendar, athletic
list of games, a student organization's events for the semester, etc. This could be done by
importing .csv (comma separated values) files into Google Calendar.
All the events would need to be organized into a spreadsheet, then saved as a .csv file to your
computer. To then import that file of events, follow the steps in this link:
Import events into Google Calendar. (These directions are for working from a computer.)
When importing these files, it is important to note that you will not be
able to "undo" the action. If you wanted to delete the imported
events, that would need to be individually.
When adding events, you should consider whether you want to add
them as a "new" calendar or into your own personal calendar. Either
way allows you to view the events, but having multiple calendars can
provide you with more flexibility in color-coding of event types.
When adding events that are classified as "all-day" it is advisable to
add these to a new calendar you create, as they will block out your
availability for the full day in your calendar. An example of these type
of all-day events can be found within the Academic Calendar, which
includes items such as Last day to submit a change of major form or
Last day to request ungraded option.

which will take you to a Google Sheets file. Download and save it to your computer
as a ".csv" file, then follow the directions to import it into a Google Calendar.
TCNJ ACADEMIC CALENDAR
As noted above, it is highly recommended that you create a new calendar titled
"Academic Calendar" and be sure to download these events into that new calendar.
