Deadline Planner
Turn a messy syllabus into one clear schedule. Add your due dates and see them sorted, counted down, and with your crunch weeks flagged. Free, instant, no signup.
Your deadlines
Add each assignment, quiz, and exam with its due date. We'll sort them, count down the days, and flag any week where three or more land together.
Why crunch weeks are where students fall behind
Online and accelerated courses rarely spread the work evenly. Deadlines cluster — a discussion post, a quiz, and a paper all land in the same seven days — and that cluster is almost always where a student first slips. It isn't a motivation problem; it's a scheduling one. When three things are due at once and you only noticed two of them, something gets dropped.
The fix is boringly effective: look at the whole term on day one. Pull every due date from your syllabus and your LMS calendar into a single view, and the pressure points become obvious weeks before they arrive. Once you can see that week 6 has four deadlines, you can start the biggest item in week 4 instead of discovering the pile-up the night before.
This planner does that for you. It sorts your dates, counts down the days, and marks any week carrying three or more deadlines so you know exactly where to front-load your effort. Print it, pin it somewhere visible, and work backward from each date rather than forward from today.
If a class has already gotten away from you, pair this with the math of recovery: work out exactly what grade you need on the final before deciding how hard to push, and keep an eye on your overall GPA as you go.
Deadline planner FAQ
What does the deadline planner do?
It takes every assignment, quiz, and exam due date you enter, sorts them chronologically, counts down the days to each, and flags any week where three or more deadlines land together. The result is a single, printable schedule so nothing sneaks up on you.
What is a "crunch week"?
A crunch week is any calendar week (Monday to Sunday) with three or more of your deadlines. These are the weeks students most often fall behind, because the work stacks up faster than it can be done. Seeing them in advance lets you start the heavy items early instead of scrambling.
Is the deadline planner free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no email required. Enter your dates, print or save the schedule, and share it with classmates.
Do you store my dates?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server or saved after you leave the page. Use the Print / Save button to keep a copy.
How should I use the schedule once I have it?
Work backward from each due date, not forward from today. Start the tasks in your crunch weeks first, protect a fixed study block each day, and do the highest-point items before low-stakes ones. If a class is already slipping, work out what grade you need on the final before deciding whether to push on.
Where do I find all my due dates?
Your course syllabus and your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L) calendar list every graded item and its due date. Pull them into the planner at the start of the term — the whole point is to see the full term at once instead of one week at a time.
