About your Class & Final Exam Schedules

Students and instructors, update your calendars with your class and final exam schedules! Download your class and/or final exam schedules from SPIRE, then import them into your preferred calendaring tool (e.g., Apple iCal, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook).

The Class Schedule calendar file that you obtain from SPIRE contains the meeting days, times, and locations for your classes. For students it also includes instructors' names and any additional notes from the Schedule of Classes. The Class Schedule calendar file does not include:

• Classes that do not have valid Days & Times listed in the Schedule of Classes (e.g., independent studies, online classes, etc.)
• Academic Calendar schedule changes (e.g., classes following a Monday schedule on Tuesdays after a major holiday.)
• Final exam information

Note: Remember to update your calendar with these events! Also check for any calendar errors after you have finished loading your schedule.

The Final Exam Schedule calendar file that you obtain from SPIRE is for the current term and contains the days, times, and locations for your final exams.
