Quick Overview:

You may need to right-click the link to save the file to your hard drive. Be sure you save it with an ics extension. On some systems the files will be recognized as TEXT (which it also is) and a recommendation may be made to save it with extension txt override that recommendation and save it with the ics extension. Once downloaded, you will have an .ics file which can then be imported into Calendar for use as a private copy of the calendar.

Alternatively, you may be able to copy the link to your clipboard and subscribe to it directly from within your calendar program. Use this method only if you do not expect to want to customize the calendar further for your own use.

Colophon:

For the 2015-2016 file I typed the entries directly into Calendar on my Mac.

For the 2015-2016 file I again typed the entries directly into iCal. As with last year, typing it in was easier than trying to customize the searchable events page to the limited list of events found on the Academic Calendar Page. Using the search string Academic Calendar was close though...

For the 2014-2015 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right? I suppose I might have used the searchable events page, but the default gave me waay more than I wanted..

For the 2013-2014 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right frown

For the 2012-2013 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right ;-]

For the 2011-2012 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right wink
