If you use Outlook, there is a way to see the UM Academic Calendar, the UM Holidays, and/or the UM Religious Holiday Calendar along side your calendar. It is easy to turn off and on, so try it and see if you find it useful.
Here are the iCal addresses you will need in the following instructions.

Note that I created these calendars. They are accurate, to the best of my knowledge. But the official UM calendars can be found from the http://www.miami.edu/calendar web page.
If you have any questions, let me know and I will try to help.
