Activity Calendar

The Activity Calendar displays your assigned activities on a monthly calendar.

Note The first time you log into SAM, no sections display. Register for a section in the Sections tab.

Dates when assignments are available or due display the assignment type with a badge indicating the number of assignments. A gray badge means the assignment becomes available that day. A red badge means the assignment is due that day.

  • To start or continue work on an assignment:
    1. Click the available or due date for the assignment.

      For assignments with no available or due date, click Always Available Assignments.

    2. Click the assignment name to display information about it.
      Note Compatibility or other warnings might be shown. For example, some projects are not compatible with Office® for Mac. Other projects require you to complete projects on the same type of operating system it was downloaded on. You might be prompted to enter a keycode to begin the assignment.
    3. Click Start.
  • To show activities for a specific section, select a section—or All Sections—from the dropdown list at the top of the page.
  • To filter activities by type, select or clear the activity type checkboxes at the top of the page.

    The selected activity type filters are used on the Activity List, Activity Calendar, and Reports pages.

  • To see details about the assignments that are due or available on a specific date, click the date in the calendar.
  • To see activities that do not have available or due dates, click Always Available Assignments.

    If needed, select or clear the activity type filters in the Always Available Assignments panel.
