Course Calendars not checked by default

[alaanizar]

Hello Community,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm Alaa NIZAR, Canvas Admin at UM6P university.

We are experiencing a strange issue with the Calendar tool.

I've created a course and enrolled both students and teachers. However the Course is not checked by default on the Calendar link at the left menu.

When I create an event, it is shown on the To do list, but the course itself is not checked on the Calendar tool!

Course M112 is not checked on the Calendar Tool, as shown in the image attached

How can we have all the courses that a student/teacher is enrolled in be checked by default on the Calendar tool?

It's a bit strange and will lead to missed events and exams by students.

If this is a BUG, while waiting for a solution,  is there any Calendar API to activate Courses in the Calendar tool for all students ??

Thank you for your support!

Best,

Alaa

Are you enrolled in a lot of active courses/groups?  According to the documentation, there is a maximum of 10 classes and/or groups that can be checked. How do I filter the Calendar view by course as a student?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.  Here's how we do things in the university. 

Each semester we create all courses of that semester  and enroll students. As of one month ago, enrolled students can see their courses checked in the global Canvas calendar. 

When à semester Ends, their related courses are found on the Past enrollments section of the Courses tool.

We have created new courses for this Fall 2024 and enrolled respective students. Don't simply don't see their courses Active in Calendar tool whether they are added manually or through SIS imports.

When a student checks a cours, it then become active in their Calendar. 

Do you see anything not logical with what's happening?

Thank you
