GOLD Calendar is a free Chrome add-on developed by rt.waltman. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This program allows users to effortlessly add their academic schedule to their preferred calendar program.

With GOLD Calendar, users can simply navigate to the "My Class Schedule" page on GOLD, the University of California, Santa Barbara's student portal, and click on the "Export Schedule" button. This action will initiate the download of a *.ics (iCalendar format) file that contains their academic schedule. They can then import this file into their calendar of choice, such as Mac OSX Calendar or Google Calendar.

It is worth noting that the developer, Richard Waltman, encourages users to report any issues or bugs they encounter while using GOLD Calendar, as he has had limited GOLD accounts to test with. This shows a commitment to improving the program based on user feedback.

Overall, GOLD Calendar provides a simple and efficient solution for students who want to integrate their academic schedule into their preferred calendar program.
