How to import a course schedule
into GroupWise

• Go to http://webadvisor.wlu.edu and log in with your Network credentials.
• Click on Faculty or Students.
• Under Faculty (or Student) Information, Click on GroupWise Class Schedule Import. Click on the Submit button.
• You will receive a file from the University Registrar; open it in GroupWise.
• Using the GroupWise 7 client (not WebAccess), right-click on the attachment and choose Import Calendar. The calendar should now appear under your main calendar.
• You can right-click on the calendar name and choose Rename to type in an appropriate name for the calendar.

Modifying the Contents of the Calendar

• Click on the calendar you want to modify.
• If you need to take out a day that you'll be at a conference, for example, you can right-click on the day and choose Delete. Click OK. Choose This Instance if you only want to delete that particular date. All Instances will delete every instance of that particular course.
• You can add to the calendar. Pick on any day and add an event, for example, a guest speaker appearance that you will require the students to attend.

Creating a Separate Calendar for Each Class

All of your classes are lumped into the one file; to create separate calendars for each class, do the following:

1. Import the calendar.
2. Rename the calendar to the class number and section, e.g., Accounting 201 Section 01.
3. Click into the calendar and right-click and Accept all appointments for the appropriate class, e.g., Accounting 201  Section 01. Accept All Instances.
4. Right-click and Delete all instances of the courses that you don't want in that particular calendar
5. Repeat steps 1-4 as necessary for the number of courses you have.

How to Send Class Calendars to Students

• Import, rename and modify your course calendar to your liking.
• Once the calendar is ready, right-click on the calendar in the left pane of the GroupWise window, and choose Export.
• Save the file to your H drive or the desktop (whichever you choose.)
• Send an e-mail to the students and attach the file to the e-mail. You may want to attach instructions on how to import the calendar as well.
• Students can import the calendar into other e-mail programs as well.
