Helpful Tips

One of the challenges facing both students and instructors is keeping track of all of the assignments. The Calendar helps everyone stay on schedule and up to date. Helpful tips about the calendar:

The Calendar is used for reminding students of graded Assignments with specific due dates.
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 is a global feature, meaning you can see all of your assignments from all of your courses in one place. If your Calendar becomes too crowded, you can filter the number of events listed on your Calendar by selecting or deselecting courses in the Sidebar.
The Calendar is designed to display up to 10 calendars at any given time. To help manage user calendars, courses customized in the courses drop-down menu as a favorite course will always be listed at the top of the user’s calendar list in the calendar sidebar.
The scheduler is part of the calendar and allows the instructor to create appointment slots that students can sign up for.
