Calendar in Canvas

The Calendar sits above Inbox on your navigation menu:

The Calendar automatically syncs with other features in Canvas, such as Assignments, Syllabus, and Grades so if you create, change, or delete the due date of an Assignment on the Calendar, it will show up in all the others and vice versa. You can change dates easily by dragging and dropping assignments from one date to another.

The Calendar spans all courses and displays information for each of your enrolled courses and groups.  You can choose to view the calendar in Week, Month, or Agenda view [1]. The view you choose dictates the style of the calendar window [2]. By default, the calendar appears in Month view. The sidebar shows a quick-view calendar [3], your list of courses and groups, and undated items for your courses and groups. Click on the Calendar Feed link [4] to view the iCal link for exporting your Canvas calendar to other calendar apps.

As an instructor, you can use the Calendar to:

• view and create activities, events, personal reminders in your course
• filter the calendar view to only see the calendars for specific courses
• quickly add Assignments to a course, and fill in the details of those Assignments later
• edit 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
