Stop copy-pasting Canvas dates into Outlook one by one. Paste your syllabus text — or drop in your Canvas iCal feed URL — download one .ics file, and every exam, assignment, and quiz lands in Outlook.
No account. No setup. Two ways to import — paste the syllabus text or use your Canvas iCal URL.
Copy the syllabus text from your Canvas course page, or navigate to Calendar → "Calendar Feed" in the lower right to copy your iCal 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 Canvas deadlines in Outlook.
Open your Canvas course, go to the Syllabus tab, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Works with table-format and narrative-format syllabi.
Paste text →In Canvas, 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 and paste it here.

Straight answers. No fluff.
Yes. Paste the syllabus text you copied out of Canvas, or use your Canvas iCal feed URL. Either way you get an .ics file with every event, ready to import into Outlook.
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.
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 Canvas iCal feed URL (Add calendar → Subscribe from web) so changes from Canvas 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.
