Calendar

Sync your Canvas calendar

BetterCampus can send your Canvas assignments and deadlines to your Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook calendar — so you get reminders on your phone and can plan your week from one place.

Calendar sync is a Pro feature. You'll need a Pro subscription to connect your external calendar.

What syncs to your calendar

Once connected, your Canvas assignments and due dates will appear in your external calendar. When due dates change in Canvas, the sync updates automatically.

How to set up calendar sync

  1. Go to the Calendar Sync page in BetterCampus

  2. Choose Sync with Google or Sync with Microsoft

  3. Follow the prompts to authorize the connection

  4. Your Canvas tasks will start appearing in your calendar

Disconnect your calendar

If you want to stop syncing, go to your calendar settings in BetterCampus and select Disconnect Google Calendar or disconnect your Microsoft calendar. Your existing Canvas events won't be removed from your calendar, but new changes won't sync anymore.

Troubleshooting

My assignments aren't showing in my calendar

Try these steps:

  • Make sure you're logged in to BetterCampus with a Pro account

  • Check that you've authorized the calendar connection

  • Reload Canvas and wait a few minutes for the sync to run

  • If it still isn't working, disconnect and reconnect your calendar

Calendar sync says I need Pro

Calendar sync is only available on the Pro plan. If you're on Free, you can upgrade from Profile → Plan & billing to unlock this feature.
