How it works

Three steps. Done.

No account. No setup. Two ways to import — paste the syllabus text or use your ASU Canvas iCal URL. Either way it ends up in Apple Calendar.

📋

Grab your ASU Canvas content

Log into Canvas at canvas.asu.edu with your ASURITE ID. Copy the syllabus text from your course page, or go to Calendar → "Calendar Feed" in the lower right to copy your iCal URL.

Paste and parse

Drop the syllabus text or iCal URL into SyllabusAI. Every exam, assignment, quiz, and due date gets pulled out and tagged in seconds.

📅

Subscribe in Apple Calendar

Download the .ics file, then open Apple Calendar → File → New Calendar Subscription and paste the URL. Shows up on iPhone, iPad, and Mac instantly.

Two ways to import

Pick whichever takes less effort.

Both paths end up at the same place — your ASU Canvas deadlines in Apple Calendar, synced across every Apple device.

📄 Paste syllabus text

Open your course at canvas.asu.edu, go to the Syllabus tab, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Works with table-format and narrative-format syllabi.

🔗 Use Canvas iCal URL

In canvas.asu.edu, open Calendar. Look in the lower-right corner of any Calendar view (Month, Week, or Agenda) — you'll see a "Calendar Feed" link. Copy that ICS URL, paste it here, then subscribe in Apple Calendar.

FAQ

ASU Canvas + Apple Calendar questions.

Straight answers. No fluff.

Does this work with ASU's Canvas at canvas.asu.edu?

Yes. Two ways: paste the syllabus text you copied out of canvas.asu.edu, or grab your Canvas iCal feed URL from the Calendar section and paste that instead. Either way you get a .ics file you subscribe to in Apple Calendar — and it shows up on every Apple device.

I'm in an accelerated session — does the ICS export work for Session A, B, and C?

Yes. Every dated event gets its own VEVENT entry in the ICS file regardless of which session it belongs to. Session A, B, C, or full semester — each due date and exam shows up in Apple Calendar exactly when it's scheduled. Session length doesn't affect the export.

Where do I find my Canvas calendar feed URL?

In Canvas, go to Calendar. In the lower-right of any Calendar view (Month, Week, or Agenda), you'll see a "Calendar Feed" link. Click it and copy the ICS URL. Paste that URL into SyllabusAI.

How do I subscribe to a calendar in Apple Calendar?

On Mac: open Apple Calendar, go to File → New Calendar Subscription, paste the .ics URL, hit Subscribe. On iPhone or iPad: Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste the URL.

Will my iPhone sync the calendar automatically?

Yes. Subscribe once on any Apple device and iCloud pushes it to all of them. Your iPhone, iPad, and Mac all show the same ASU deadlines without any extra steps.

Is this free?

Yes — free to start, no credit card. The free plan includes 3 syllabus parses, 5 Google Calendar syncs, and 25 AI study queries every rolling 30 days, which covers a typical semester setup. Power users can upgrade to Pro at $6.99/month for unlimited parsing and syncs. Apple Calendar itself is free and built into every Apple device.

Is my Canvas syllabus stored anywhere?

No. Your syllabus text is processed to extract dates and events, then discarded. We don't store, log, or sell your content.
