Blackboard and Outlook don't talk to each other natively. SyllabusAI bridges the gap — paste your syllabus or use Blackboard's iCal URL and import every due date into Outlook in seconds.
No account. No setup. Two ways to import — paste the syllabus text or use your Blackboard iCal URL.
Copy syllabus text from your Blackboard course, or go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe to get your ICS URL.
Drop the syllabus text or iCal URL into SyllabusAI. Every exam, assignment, quiz, and due date gets pulled out and tagged in seconds.
Download the .ics file, then in Outlook on the web go to Calendar → Add calendar → Upload from file. In classic desktop Outlook: File → Open & Export → Import/Export.
Both paths end at the same place — your Blackboard deadlines in Outlook.
Open your Blackboard course, find the Syllabus item, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Table-formatted and paragraph-style syllabi both parse well.
Paste text →In Blackboard go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe. Copy the ICS URL shown and paste it into SyllabusAI.

Straight answers. No fluff.
Yes. Paste the syllabus text you copied out of Blackboard, or use your Blackboard iCal feed URL. Either way you get an .ics file with every event, ready to import into Outlook.
In Blackboard, go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe. Copy the ICS URL shown. Paste it into SyllabusAI's iCal URL field.
In Outlook on the web and the new Outlook apps: open Calendar, click Add calendar → Upload from file, select the .ics, pick which calendar to add it to, and import. In classic desktop Outlook: File → Open & Export → Import/Export → Import an iCalendar (.ics) file.
Two options. Subscribe Outlook directly to your Blackboard iCal feed URL (Add calendar → Subscribe from web) so changes from Blackboard appear automatically, or re-run SyllabusAI and import a fresh .ics whenever your professor updates the syllabus.
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. Outlook itself is free on the web, and most schools include it in your student Microsoft 365 account.
No. The import only adds events to the calendar you choose. Create a separate "Classes" calendar in Outlook first if you want your school deadlines fully separated from everything else.
No. Your syllabus text is processed to extract dates and events, then discarded. We don't store, log, or sell your content.
Takes about 10 seconds. No account, no setup, no manual date-entry.
