About Turning Your Calendars On or Off

Calendars in Canvas are able to be turned on or off for both your personal and Course calendars. The Calendar is a great way to view everything you have to do for all your Courses 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 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 shown in the calendar.

Enabling or Disabling Calendars

1. 1. To open the Canvas Calendar 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.
