Tu Studentplan to iCal is a free Chrome extension developed by levente.berky. This handy tool allows users to extract their student plan from the HTML table format and convert it into an iCal file. The extension is specifically designed for the "STUNDENPLANSYSTEM MEDIZINISCHE FAKULTÄT" page, making it easy to export any timetable to a calendar format.

To get started, simply install the extension on any Chrome-based browser. Once installed, log in to your TU Dresden account and navigate to the timetable page. Select your desired timetable and choose "Wochentage: Montag - Freitag" and "Layout: Liste". Instead of clicking "Studentplan anzeigeg" as you normally would, click on the extension icon and press the export button. The iCal files will be automatically downloaded to your default download folder.

For added convenience, the extension also offers the option to generate separate iCal files for each detected event on the calendar. This is particularly useful if you want to color-code different events or add notifications to specific types of events.

Recommended usage involves creating a new calendar in Google Calendar specifically for lectures. Import the iCal file containing your lectures, turn off notifications, set a neutral color for the calendar, and hide it from view. This way, you can easily keep track of your lecture schedule without cluttering your main calendar.

In addition, create another calendar for your personal events and set default notifications for travel time to university and the time it takes you to get ready. Color this calendar with a vibrant color that stands out to you. Import all other events that you care about into this calendar.

With Tu Studentplan to iCal, exporting your TU Dresden student plan to an iCal file has never been easier. Simplify your schedule management and stay organized with this convenient Chrome extension.
