Want to access the Bournemouth University timetable for your lectures and seminars but would rather use your own calendar app instead of the timetable website or iBU? Want to be able to access your timetable from Siri, Alexa, or Google Home?
Me too! So I made this extension.
This extension converts timetable events from the timetable website into an .ics file for use in your own calendar apps!
Usage:
1. Go to timetable.bournemouth.ac.uk, and log in if required.
2. (Optional) Click 'Month', 'Week', or 'Day' to select the range of events to download.
3. Click the 'Download' button in the toolbar on the right.
Alternatively, click on a single timetable event and click 'Download' to download just that event.
Important Information:
This extension is unofficial and in no way supported or endorsed by Bournemouth University.
I am a student (s5208752) who made this extension for my own use, and I am sharing it here because I want others to be able to use it too.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
