You can add a course schedule of class meetings, required readings, and assignment deadlines to your Canvas course site, and like with your syllabus, you can do so in multiple ways: as a file upload, or by adding dates to all activities, which will show up under Course Summary in the Syllabus tool.

Option 1: File Upload

Uploading a course schedule as a PDF document is the most straightforward way to distribute your course schedule. Students can view the document in Canvas, and they can download and print it as needed. If you make changes throughout the semester, however, you will need to re-upload your revised course schedule to the course site.

Option 2: Adding Due Dates to All Activities

Canvas aggregates all due dates and to-do items assigned in a Canvas course site to the Course Summary in the Syllabus tool. One advantage of using the Course Summary to provide your course schedule is that when you change a due date or to-do item in Canvas, it is automatically updated in the Course Summary, making revisions to the course schedule easier and less prone to error. If you choose to distribute your course schedule in this way, you should make sure that all assigned due dates and to-do items are added to Canvas and use the Syllabus tool for your syllabus.
