How it works

Three steps. Done.

No account. No setup. Two ways to get your U-M Canvas deadlines into Apple Calendar.

📋

Open Canvas at U-M

Log into umich.instructure.com with your uniqname, open your course, and copy the syllabus text — 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. Shows up on iPhone, iPad, and Mac instantly via iCloud.

Two ways to import

Pick whichever takes less effort.

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

📄 Paste syllabus text

Log into umich.instructure.com, open your course, go to the Syllabus tab, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Works with table-format and narrative-format syllabi.

FAQ

Michigan Canvas + Apple Calendar questions.

Straight answers. No fluff.

Does this work with U-M's Canvas and Apple Calendar?

Yes. Log into Canvas at umich.instructure.com with your U-M uniqname, copy your syllabus text or grab your iCal feed URL from Calendar → Calendar Feed. Either way you get a .ics file you subscribe to in Apple Calendar — and it shows up on every Apple device signed into your iCloud account.

Where do I find my Canvas calendar feed URL at Michigan?

Log into umich.instructure.com with your uniqname, 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.

Does SyllabusAI work with Michigan's semester schedule and honors courses?

Yes. SyllabusAI parses any text-based syllabus format — standard semester, honors sections, research courses, and graduate seminars all work the same way. Every dated event lands in Apple Calendar and syncs across all your Apple devices via iCloud.

Will my iPhone sync the Michigan 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 U-M 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 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.
