Turning Your Calendars On or Off

You can easily switch your personal and course calendars on and off in Canvas. The Calendar is awesome because you can see all your upcoming tasks for each of your classes in one place!

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 box next to the course name is a solid color, the calendar is turned on. When a calendar is turned on, events, assignments, and to-do items for that course are shown on the calendar. If the box is empty, events, assignments, and to-do items for that course will not be visible on the calendar.

Enabling or Disabling Calendars

To open the Canvas Calendar select Calendar from the Global Navigation menu.
In the sidebar click the box next to the name of the course calendar to turn a calendar on or off.
When the box next to the name of a course 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.
