A couple of days ago I got asked on my personal blog if it was possible to get the Univeristy terms dates into Google Calendar. The answer is a wholehearted "yes!" and this is how:

Step 1

Go to http://www.bath.ac.uk/semester/ and look underneath the Key on the right hand side and choose which calendar you want from:

• Full chart
• Full chart with university week numbers
• Staff chart (without the teaching days and student vacation dates marked)
• Staff chart with university week numbers

Right-click the one you want and copy the link to your clipboard (you probably want either the "Full chart" or "Staff chart" screenshots of each are below).

Step 2

Go to Google Calendar and click “Add” in the bottom left corner and then click “Add by URL”

Paste in the link you copied from the semester page and click “Add”. That’s it! You can now click “Back to Calendar” and you’ll see all the items from the calendar you imported.

At the moment the calendar you add will expire at the end of the academic year so you’ll need to go through this again next year.
