About Turning Your Calendars On or Off

You may use the Calendar tool in Canvas for both your Courses and personal notices.

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

Enabling or Disabling Calendars

1. 1. Select Calendar from the Global Navigation menu.
  2. 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

The default view of a Calendar shows an entire Month. To change the view, select Week or Agenda.
