This article details the steps on subscribing to external calendars. Subscribing to calendars allows Outlook to automatically receive updates to external calendars, such as a calendar from Nexus or GoogleWhen you subscribe to a calendar, your calendar will automatically refresh if the other calendar is updated. This can sometimes take more than 24 hours, but is usually much quicker.
In order to subscribe to a calendar, you will require an ICS or iCal link. How you acquire this link depends on the external calendar. If you are unsure of what link to use, or how to find one, please reach out to our help desk with the details of the calendar you’d like to subscribe to by emailing techsupport@uconn.edu.
