Use the Canvas Calendar and To-Do List Effectively

Between multiple courses, the Canvas calendar and Dashboard to-do list are the fastest way to see what is due without opening every module.

Calendar tips

1. Open Calendar from Global Navigation.
2. Toggle course calendars on the sidebar so only active classes show.
3. Use month view for planning and agenda/list view for the next 7 days.
4. Add personal reminders if your school allows calendar events.

To-Do list tips

• Check the Dashboard sidebar daily before class.
• Click an item to jump straight to the assignment or quiz.
• After submitting, confirm the item clears or moves to graded.

Combine this with sensible notification settings so deadlines reach you on time. More basics in Canvas for students.
