The Abacus calendar is published in a standard format. Because of this, it is easy to import it using different programs. You can add the calendar in your student email, or import it into your Google Calendar. Even programs like Outlook and Thunderbird (for example with the Lighning Add-on) can handle the link.

Use the terms “iCalendar” or “iCal” when searching for more information; this is the name of the type of file the Abacus calendar uses.
