Due Date Planner

This due date spreadsheet template provides a countdown to your assignment deadlines, supporting you with prioritizing and planning assignment work. 

• Due Date Spreadsheet (.xlsx)

Using a Due Date Spreadsheet Effectively

1. Go through the syllabus for each class and carefully note all assignment due dates and exams. Put these dates into your Due Date Spreadsheet.
   • You can use a different colour for each course if this helps.
   • Add as much detail that is helpful to you: weight/worth, notes about the task, status (in progress, complete).
2. Note that the 'Days until due' (Column E) in the template has a formula in place to calculate the number of days until the assignment is due. Simply add your due dates to Column C, and the countdown column will update.
   • If you notice certain crunch periods where multiple tasks are due around the same time, you might consider adding your own start dates or mini due dates.
3. Save your spreadsheet in a place where you can view it often for quick reference.
