AccessStout: Add Your Class Schedule to Your Microsoft Outlook Calendar
Download your class schedule from AccessStout and add it to your Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
A feature has been made available to AccessStout that allows instructors and students to download their class schedule via an iCal file. This can then be imported into your Microsoft Outlook account or other online calendars.
Important:
The course schedule added to your Outlook calendar is static, meaning, if you change your course schedule in AccessStout, the changes will not automatically be reflected in Outlook.
- If the change is minor (i.e. one drop or add), you can modify the calendar as normally would.
- For extensive changes to your schedule, you may want to delete the current course and repeat the process from the start in AccessStout.
Student Note: Always check AccessStout for any updates or changes to your courses.
Instructor Note: If an instructor has two classes scheduled at the same time such as two sections or undergrad/grad level classes, they may see duplicates on their Outlook calendar. Those duplicates can be deleted in Outlook.
