How it works

Three steps. Done.

No account. No setup. Two ways to import your U-M Canvas deadlines into Google 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.

📅

Export to Google Calendar

Click "Open in Google Calendar" and every event lands where it should. Or download a .ics file to import yourself.

Two ways to import

Pick whichever takes less effort.

Both paths end up at the same place — your Michigan Canvas deadlines in Google Calendar.

📄 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.

🔗 Use Canvas iCal URL

In Canvas at umich.instructure.com, open Calendar. Look in the lower-right corner of any Calendar view — you'll see a "Calendar Feed" link. Copy that ICS URL and paste it here.

FAQ

Michigan Canvas + Google Calendar questions.

Straight answers. No fluff.

Does this work with U-M's Canvas at umich.instructure.com?

Yes. Log into Canvas at umich.instructure.com using your U-M uniqname, open your course syllabus, copy the text, and paste it into SyllabusAI. Or grab your Canvas iCal feed URL from Calendar → Calendar Feed. Either path gets every Michigan deadline into Google Calendar.

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.

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. Paste the syllabus text from your Canvas course page and every dated event gets extracted.

Will this import recurring assignments from Canvas?

Yes. When you use the iCal feed URL, recurring events from Canvas import as individual dated events in Google Calendar so each due date shows up separately — not buried in a repeating pattern.

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.

Will this mess up my existing Google Calendar?

No. You get a separate .ics file or a new Google Calendar link. Your existing events stay exactly where they are.

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.
