Adding non-Academic Events to the Planner

Helium lets you add events like study sessions, concerts, appointments, and anything else you need to block out time for in your schedule. Unlike assignments, events are not attached to a class, are ungraded, and won’t appear in the Todos view.

How to Add an Event

1. Open the Planner
2. Click on a day or time slot, or click the + button
3. In the top-right corner of the form, click the Event icon in the toggle (the right side of the two-icon toggle) to switch to Event mode
4. Enter your event details
5. Click Save
