D2L Calendar in Outlook

Follow these instructions to see due dates for all courses in which you are enrolled in, in which your instructor makes use of the D2L Calendar, in one place in Outlook.
Note: if you use Google Calendar or some other .ics compatible program these instructions still apply, with appropriate modifications.

 

  1. Log into D2L and go to the course of interest.
  2. Click on 'Calendar' (or Materials>Calendar from the menu)


  3. Click on the 'Settings' icon. (also note the 'Subscribe icon, you will click this later)


  4. Make sure to check "Enable Calendar Feeds"


  5. Click the subscribe button (see step 3) and select your course, then click 'Download'


  6. Select OK, or download the .ics file and open it. What appears depends on the browser you are using. Firefox is shown, and recommended.


  7. In a few seconds to a minute, your Outlook Calendar will open with a new calendar feed for the course. You may need to adjust your calendar settings to view the due dates.
    'Week' view is shown below instead of the typical 'Work Week' view.


  8. Repeat as required to add calendars for other courses. You can also subscribe to calendars for your favorite sports team, if they make it availble.
