Viewing Your Calendar(s)

The Calendar is a great way to view everything you have to do for all your courses in one place. You can view calendar events by day, week, month, or agenda list. You can filter your calendar to show specific courses at a time.

Viewing Calendar List

The calendar list includes a color box next to each course and one for your personal calendar. Your personal calendar is labeled with your name. If the color box is a solid color, the calendar is turned on.

When a calendar is on, events, assignments, and to-do items for that course are shown in the calendar. When the color box is empty, events, assignments, and to-do items for that course are not shown in the calendar.

Enabling or Disabling Calendars

To open the Canvas Calendar, select Calendar from the Global Navigation menu.
In the sidebar, click the color box next to the name of the calendar to turn a calendar on or off. When the color box next to the name of a calendar is empty, the calendar is off and the events and assignments are hidden.

Changing the Calendar View

There are three calendar views to choose from.
The default view shows an entire Month.
Select the Week or Agenda buttons to change the Calendar view.
