UBC Courses Calendar Extension

Grant access to the extension enable it properly. You may need to close the extension and re-open after granting permission for it to work properly. In workday go through the following steps to download the excel file showing your classes:
1. Click on \"Academics\"
2. Select \"Registration and Courses\" in the nav bar
3. Under \"Registration\" click \"View my Courses\"
4. In the top right corner above the table there should be multiple icons. The icon on the far left of them is the one to download an excel file. This is the file to use.
5. Once you open the extension, select this downloaded file from the menu.
6. Click Sync courses.
7. If the quotes are coming up, it's probably working. It can take up to 30 seconds to complete (after giving the extension permissions), normally. Taking longer probably means something is wrong.
8. Go to calendar.google.com to view your courses, now under a sub-calendar called UBC Courses.
Heads up: Workday is pretty stupid. Consequently some classes don't have the time slot downloaded into the excel sheet. Some classes don't have their location in the excel. Why? The extension will try its best to upload the classes, but it might not work always.
It doesn't add classes typically for Winter break and the the \"reading week\" we get. However, this is again dependent on whether Workday gives a nice excel file. Most times it will. One bug is that the first day typically has extra classes added for some reason. I'm not sure why, but if anyone can find the error in the github code posted, that would be amazing. Otherwise it should work fine for the rest of your classes.
