I know it is possible to sync the Canvas calendar with a Google calendar, but am I able to sync or import a Google calendar into Canvas?
Thank you!
Hello @JenniferIntelic
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. The short answer is no - you can sync your Canvas Calendar to other calendars like Google but you cannot import personal calendar data to your Canvas page. The calendar was a custom built tool to display events and assignments for the courses you are taking and doesn't function fully like your Google Calendar. Unfortunately, you would need to make events manually. Here is the Canvas guide:

Hi @JenniferIntelic ,
I'm not sure about your exact need, but you can display your Google calendar on a Canvas Page if that suits your needs. You could do this by getting the embed code for your Google calendar (instructions here) and then using the embed tool on the page (the cloud icon on the tool bar). This would allow your Canvas users to view your selected Google calendar, and it would update dynamically in Canvas when you updated it in Google. If you also synced your Canvas calendar into your Google, then the Google calendar that displayed on your Canvas page would show Canvas items, too.

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
