The calendar tool in Canvas is a digital calendar available inside of your Canvas course. The Calendar for each course automatically displays assignment and exam due dates on the appropriate date/time. Instructors can also add custom events. 

The view of the calendar can be changed by students to show either a single course or multiple courses at once to give an overview of upcoming coursework.
