Announcement Download Schedule Directly from OSCAR | Chrome Extension

๐Ÿ๐ŸWassup yellow jackets! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

I present to you a chrome extension that can parse your schedule from OSCAR and turn it into an iCalendar (.ics) file! You can thus import your schedule to calendars such as iCloud Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and probably more, allowing you to more easily keep track of your classes rather than constantly looking on OSCAR and/or screenshots of your schedule. This is still in its early stages, so please give me any feedback!

Edit: This is now open source!! Click here to view the github repository.

(To clear up any future confusion: this does not make or modify your schedule nor use any personal data. This simply parses your courses form OSCAR and downloads an .ics file from them.)

Have a good Fall 2025 semester!

Yurp. Main difference is that this one utilizes OSCAR directly (via html page scraping). Either works honestly tho

Great idea! (And good work)

From a cybersecurity perspective, thatโ€™s the only way to make sure your code isnโ€™t malicious ๐Ÿ‘Œ
