Add Holidays and Blackout Dates to Canvas

  • Updated

Objective: Learn to add holidays to your Canvas instance.

Notes: Adding holidays and non-school days to the LMS will add them to teacher and student calendars. If holidays are added before classes are created, those dates will be avoided as due dates for assignments.

If due dates are added after a course is created, teachers may need to adjust assignment due dates in their courses.
