What is the Canvas Calendar? - Students
The Calendar is located on the left-side of the page on the Global Navigation. All current course calendars can be accessed and managed from a single page. You can choose to look at the entries for up to 10 calendars at once, or filter to view select calendars. In addition to your course calendars, you have access to a personal calendar.
In this video you'll learn how to keep track of important events and assignments.
