Are our course class times supposed to automatically appear in the calendar, or must we add dates, times, and locations for each course ourselves? I see assignments for one course on my calendar, but nothing else is there.
@AMVeazie ...
I'm not sure if you are a student or an instructor. If you are a student, this would be a question that you'd want to ask your instructor...which you can do directly in Canvas.
How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
If you are an instructor, I don't know of anything that would bring in class times to the Canvas Calendar. I do know that Student Information Systems (SISs) can populate the course start and end dates into the course "Settings" screen of Canvas, but this isn't the same as the course Calendar. You might want to have a discussion with your Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Learning team about best practices they recommend for displaying this information to your students...such as via an announcement, a content page, or even using the Calendar within Canvas.
I hope this helps a bit. Good luck!

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…
