# Creating an Event in the Calendar

Creating an event in the course's calendar allows you to view due dates, office hours, the course schedule, course meetings, and other events.

**Note:** The calendar will automatically show graded items, such as tests or assignments, if the due date is specified in the settings of that graded item.
