Hi @CarolRobinson1,
It is not possible to disable the Calendar area of Canvas or for a specific course or semester. The Calendar area of Canvas that is available to anyone, including the ability to manually create "My To Do" entries that are associated with a specific course or their personal calendar.
When an teacher/instructor/professor creates Canvas content and populates the content with a "Due" date, that date automatically creates a calendar entry in the course's calendar for everyone.
Regardless of the role of the Canvas user (student or teacher), it is also possible to create "My To Do" entries (either for their personal calendar or associated with a specific course, but only visible to them). Only teachers/instructors/professors have the ability to create "Events" (which everyone in the course can see).

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
