How to Use Calendar Feeds    
In order to add Norfolk's Calendar into your own personal Calendar, you will need to use one of the URLs below in either the iCal or vCal format.
  • The vCal format is the original Calendar file format.
  • The iCal format is the newer version of the vCal that is more robust and more widely used.
Both formats may work for your personal Calendar. We provide both options as some Calendars only support one of the two types.

 for a list of applications that iCal supports.
 
For iCal, copy this link: webcal://www.norfolkcollegiate.org/CalendarFeed_iCalendar.ics?datefrom=01/01/2000&dateto=1/12/2050&categories=Main,Home&includesubs=true
