| Integrating any Calendar with the Canvas Calendar |
It can be helpful to have the student Canvas calendar integrated with your personal calendar to help you keep up with your student's assignments. While it means all the same events listed in Canvas will be visible on your calendar, please pay close attention to the following limitations.
**Very Important to note**
- While you can see class events and assignments in your personal calendar, the links shown there will not lead you back to the assignment. You must find it in the Canvas account.
- Adding an event to your personal calendar will NOT add it to your Canvas calendar.
- Events on the Canvas calendar are placed there by the teachers of your student's classes. If you are missing an event on the Canvas calendar, it will not show on your personal calendar.
1. Begin on your Canvas calendar page in the Canvas Observer account.

3. In the pop-up that appears, use Ctrl+A to highlight the link and then Ctrl+C to copy the entire link.
Note! The rest of these instructions are specific to users of Google Calendar. If you use another calendar, you may need your own instructions for how to use the iCal feed.
