However, manually transferring events from Canvas to Google Calendar can be a hassle. That’s why I’ve come up with this guide on how to import your Canvas calendar to Google Calendar in 2024.
Step 1: Export Your Canvas Calendar
The first step is to export your Canvas calendar. To do this, go to your Canvas calendar, click on the “Calendar Feed” button, and select “Get External Calendar Link”. Copy the link provided.
Question: What is an External Calendar Link?
An External Calendar Link is a web address that allows you to access your calendar in other applications. In this case, we are using it to import our Canvas calendar into Google Calendar.
Step 2: Import Your Canvas Calendar to Google Calendar
Now that you have your External Calendar Link, it’s time to import it to Google Calendar. Open Google Calendar, click on the three dots next to “Add Calendar”, and select “From URL”. Paste the External Calendar Link and click “Add Calendar”.
Question: How Often Will My Canvas Calendar Sync with Google Calendar?
The sync time depends on your Google Calendar settings. By default, Google Calendar will check for updates every few hours. However, you can change this in your Calendar settings to sync more or less frequently.
Step 3: Customize Your Canvas Calendar Events
Your Canvas calendar events will now be imported into Google Calendar. However, you may notice that the events are not as descriptive as you would like them to be. To fix this, you can customize the events in Google Calendar.
Question: Will Editing an Event in Google Calendar Affect the Original Event in Canvas?
No, editing an event in Google Calendar will not affect the original event in Canvas. The changes you make will only apply to the event in Google Calendar.

Congratulations! You have successfully imported your Canvas calendar to Google Calendar. Enjoy your organized schedule and never miss a deadline again.
Question: Can I Still Access My Canvas Calendar?
Yes, you can still access your Canvas calendar. Importing your calendar to Google Calendar does not remove it from Canvas. You can still view and edit your events in Canvas.
