Calendar

Find and Navigate the Calendar

You can see all your upcoming due dates across your courses from the global calendar—all in one place.

1. Select Day or Month to zoom in on one day's tasks or plan for the weeks ahead.
2. Select Due Dates to focus only on your upcoming deadlines.
3. Select the Calendar Settings icon in the upper-right corner to select the calendars you want to see.

Create and Edit an Event

Add events to your calendar by selecting Calendar from the list where your name appears.  Select the plus sign and add an event title, date, time, and location.

Select the title of an event you added to change its details.

You can move and delete events in your calendar.  Drag and drop personal events to change times or delete personal events that aren't needed.  You can't delete or move events added by your instructor.

Share your Calendar

Your schedule is a mix of academic and personal commitments.  To help keep up with everything you've got going on, it helps to put everything on one calendar.

You can share your Blackboard Learn calendar with external services, so course events appear with other events.

You cannot share calendars for individual courses.  When you share your calendar, events for all your courses appear.

1. Select Calendar in the menu where your name appears first.  
2. Select the Calendar Settings icon.
3. Open the menu next to the Calendar Settings heading and select Share Calendar.
4. In the window, copy the calendar link.  Share the URL only with trusted sources.

When you connect your Blackboard Learn calendar to an external calendar, all course events appear one year in the past and into the future.

Add External Calendar

If you prefer to use Blackboard Learns calendar, you can also add an external calendar file to your Blackboard Learn calendar so that course events appear with other events.

1. Select Calendar in the menu where your name appears first.
2. Select the Calendar Settings icon.
3. Open the menu next to the Calendar Settings heading.
4. Select Add Calendar.
5. In the window, drag and drop your calendar file.  You can also click to upload the file.  Only ICS files are supported.  The file name appears in the window.  Select the Delete icon if you selected the wrong file or want to change your selection.
6. Select Add Calendar to finish and import events.

When you add your external calendar to Blackboard Learn, events appear one year in the past and future.  The events are grouped under My Personal Calendar to show that you added them yourself.  The events don't reference the calendar or the name of the file you uploaded.  You can edit or delete events you upload just like any other event you add.
