Add Religious Holidays to your LMS Calendar

This service is for faculty, students, and other Canvas users.

You can now add religious holidays to your Canvas calendar with just a few clicks. This is one way for faculty to ensure major assignments and class activities will not conflict with religious observances, and for students of many faiths to ensure their religious observances appear on their personal calendars. Setting this up will carry forward into future years, so you only have to do this once.
