Canvas – Calendar – About Calendar

Students: The Calendar helps students see what assignments and events are coming up in the course. You can also create personal events such as study groups.

When would I use the Calendar as a student?

• View course calendars and group calendars.
• Create personal calendar reminders.
• Copy the iCal feed for all of your courses and import it to your preferred personal Calendar, such as Google or Outlook.
• Sign up for appointments in the Scheduler.

Instructors: As an instructor, use the Calendar to:

• View and create activities in your course as well as events and personal reminders; you can also filter the calendar view to only see specific calendars.
• Quickly add Assignments to a blank course. Fill in the details of those Assignments later.
• Adjust the dates of Assignments that have been imported from previous terms. Canvas makes it easy to drag and drop events across multiple months.
• Copy the iCal feed for all of your courses and import it to your preferred personal Calendar, such as Google or Outlook.
• Schedule appointments with students using the Scheduler (optional feature).

All Canvas support articles on the Calendar.
