What will you see
Your request to activate this service will push any events associated with your Staff or Student record via your College email address (@ic.ac.uk) into your Imperial College Outlook calendar. This may include bookings you have requested, timetabled events and events associated with Staff teams or Student groups you are in.
AutoCalEx Setup (for Celcat Users)
Activation means that your email address will be put into the Profile field in your Staff or Student record in Celcat. While the profile field is populated with the address it will continue to update your Outlook calendar with all new and amended events, including moving and deleting events in line with any amendments that take place in Celcat.
Deactivate AutoCalEx
Deactivate this service by requesting the removal your email address from the Profile field. This will only de-active the syncing process; you will no longer receive updates. It will not remove the events from your Outlook Calendar. Please follow the removal instructions above.
Although events in Celcat can contain multiple weeks, for example, an event that takes place in all 10 weeks of the autumn term on a Monday at 10am. This same event will appear as 10 events in your Outlook calendar; and each one will need to be deleted.
Timetable Updates
"While every attempt will be made to minimize alterations to timetables, in some circumstances changes may be unavoidable. It is the individual responsibility to check the timetable regularly and refresh this for any updates, ensuring you have the correct information to attend your classes. If you print a copy you must check back for alterations as activities are likely to be updated, particularly during the first few weeks of term."
We advise you to frequently consult the online Timetabler Calendar to view your latest updated timetables
