Adding UARK Holidays to Your Calendar

Add a custom list of University of Arkansas holidays to your calendar in Outlook.

    Note: Firefox and Chrome users might need to right-click the link, select "Save Link As" and open the file from the Downloads folder.
  2. The "Add Holidays to Calendar" dialog box will open in Outlook. Check the box next to University of Arkansas. Click OK.
    Note: If you get a warning that a UA holiday set is already installed, do not install it again as it will cause duplicates.
