TeachCenter calendar for students and teachers

Students can see all the dates of courses and exams for which they are registered in the TeachCenter calendar. The TeachCenter calendar also displays deadlines for assignments and the like. The calendar can be synchronised with various calendar apps so that you always have an up-to-date overview of all important appointments for your courses.

Teachers can also use the TeachCenter calendar and enter their own appointments as well as appointments for courses and groups.

Overview of the calendar

Where do I find the TeachCenter calendar?

You can access the calendar via the main menu > Calendar.

Screenshot of one month of the calendar with user events — Calendar overview

You can also click on your profile image at the top right > Calendar to get to the TeachCenter calendar.

You can change the view choosing month, day or "upcoming events" (= 2 weeks).

Choose between monthly, daily view or upcoming events — Choose calendar view

Using the dropdown menu, you can also filter courses to see only appointments from one TeachCenter course. This does not include the course dates from TUGRAZonline!

Click on an event to see more details about it. If the event, for example, is a deadline you can go directly to the TeachCenter course or the assignment from the appointment. If the event is a course date, you will see a link to TUGRAZonilne or you can see the room where the course is held on a plan.

What is shown in the TeachCenter calendar by default?

Students see in their TeachCenter calendar:

All TUGRAZonline dates of courses you are registered for
Exam dates you are registered for on TUGRAZonline
Potential exam dates of courses you are registered for on TUGRAZonline
Deadlines of TeachCenter activities of your courses, such as assignments
All appointments that have been entered by a teacher for your TeachCenter course or group
Your own personal appointments (added in the TeachCenter or in the TUGRAZonline calendar)

Teachers see in their TeachCenter calendar:

All appointments that have been entered in the TeachCenter for your own course or group
Deadlines of TeachCenter activities of your courses, such as assignments
Your own personal appointments

All course dates that are imported from TUGRAZonline as well as individually created personal appointments are called "user events" and are displayed in blue.

Appointments on course or group level that have been created by teachers, e.g. an assignment deadline, are orange or yellow.

Managing and exporting appointments

How to add personal appointments in the TeachCenter calendar?

How to hide or delete appointments?

Personal appointments can be deleted by opening the appointment and clicking Delete.

Other appointments such as deadlines for assignments and course dates cannot be deleted by students. If students accidentally delete the connection to the TUGRAZonline calendar, it will be restored with the next synchronisation (once daily, during the night). If a course date is cancelled or the assignment is deleted by teachers, the appointment will disappear.

You can hide types of events in bulk. Open the sidebar menu in the calendar view on the right, and click the eye icon next to the type of event.

Hide certain events by clicking on the eye icon next to their group — Hide certain events

NB: "Hide user events" will not only hide your personal appointments, but also all the course dates from TUGRAZonline!

How to export the TeachCenter calendar or connect it to other apps?

To import the TeachCenter calendar to another app (Outlook, Google Calendar or similar), you need to create an export file or link. Click Import and export calendars below the calendar view.

Button Import or Export calendars below the calendar view — Import or export calendars

Click the button Export calendar.

View of imported calendars with button Export calendar at the top right — Export calendar

Choose the Events to export: All events, course-related events (e.g. assignment deadlines) or user events (includes course dates!).

Decide which time period to export. You can select up to one year into the future.

Export calendar view with option to choose events and time period to export — Choose export details

If you want your exported calendar to be continually updated and synchronised with the TeachCenter calendar, i.e. changes in the TeachCenter calendar will also be applied in the other calendar, click Get calendar URL. This will create a link you can enter into the other calendar app. Changes in the TeachCenter calendar will be applied in the other calendar app as well. You only need to paste the link once. The update will then happen automatically.

If you only need a one-time export and future changes should not be updated, click Export. You can download an .ics file, which you can upload in another calendar app. When using this option, you need to make another export after the chosen export time period (up to 1 year) if you want to see future appointments.
