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).

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…
