Steps to use the Calendar as your daily planner

1.From the Home page, click on the Calendar icon or link.
2.You will probably see a pop-up window showing new events; if so, close that window.
3.If you are not on the page of the calendar for the current month, click on the Next Month or Previous Month to find the correct page. If you scroll down, you will see various entries, including the orientation dates. The other entries are guides to help you stay on target. You may be doing your course work at different times and will want to personalize the calendar to fit your own schedule; you should add your own target dates. (The question is worth 1 point.)
