The HYMS iCalendar timetable feed service provides every student and tutor with a personalised iCalendar (or iCal) timetable.
- This guide explains how to add your personalised timetable to your online Office 365 HYMS email account calendar, from a computer web browser.

We strongly advise that you regularly refer to your online Office 365 calendar for the most recent information inputted into your timetable.
