[ARCHIVED] Calendar feed time zones

[NicoleDesiree]

I went to add the course calendar feed to my calendar, but when I checked the calendar on my phone, the times are different than what the course portal is reflecting. For example, in the course calendar there is a lecture scheduled at 2pm but on my calendar it imported as 9am. The institution offering the course is in the Eastern time zone, which is the same time zone I live in. Why are the times showing up differently? Will I have to manually edit each lecture date that has imported into my calendar?

Your account timezone settings may not be set correctly. You can check this setting in your account:

under settings in my canvas account i do not have access to change the time zone. How might i gain access to change the settings in canvas?

That sounds pretty strange that you wouldn't be able to change your own time zone settings.  Can you please double-check again that you are unable to do this?  Be sure to follow the steps in either of these Guides:

• How do I set a time zone in my user account as a student?
• How do I set a time zone in my user account as an instructor?
