Blackboard Ultra Navigation: Calendar

How to Navigate the Blackboard Ultra Calendar

The global calendar displays events and dates from multiple courses in one location. All due dates created for a Blackboard course that you are teaching or enrolled in appear automatically on the calendar.  You may view your schedule for a day or a month as a whole. 

You can Add Event(s), Edit Schedule(s), and Add Office Hours from the global calendar. Add personal appointments to keep yourself organized, or associated events with particular courses.

Left Navigation Highlight: A red box and arrow highlight the "Calendar" tab in the primary left navigation sidebar.  Add Event Dropdown Highlight: A red box outlines the plus icon ("+") in the upper-right corner, along with its expanded menu featuring:  "Add Event" (highlighted with an inner red box)  "Edit Schedule"  "Add Office Hours"  Calendar View Panel: The central area shows the month grid for "Dec 2026", with view toggles for "Schedule" and "Due Dates" at the top left, a "Month" view toggle, and a "Today" button at the top right.

Any events you create from the global calendar filter down to your course when you have a course-specific calendar enabled. When you create an assignment and add a due date, it is automatically added to the course calendar.
