Add course deadlines to your calendar

Add course deadlines to your calendar app to keep track of upcoming assignments. You can use the calendar sync option with Apple calendar, Google calendar, and any other calendar app that supports .ics files.

If you reset your deadlines, the deadlines in your calendar will automatically change. If applicable to your course, any live events will also sync with your calendar.

Deadlines not appearing

When using calendar sync, you'll only see deadlines for courses you're actively enrolled in that have incomplete, upcoming assignments. Deadlines for courses you've completed or that haven't started won't appear.

If you're not seeing deadlines for an active course, it's possible you need to refresh your calendar app. This should happen automatically within 48 hours, but most calendar apps will let you manually refresh to speed things up. Here are steps for common calendar apps:

If your calendar app doesn't have an option to manually refresh, try removing and re-adding the deadlines or using a different calendar app.
