Q: Why do I need Flash to view the calendar and where can I get it?

A: We have developed the calendar in Flash to provide users with an enhanced interface. In order to use the calendar, you will need to have the latest flash plug-in installed in your browser. You can download it free from the Macromedia site: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/.

Q: I can see the calendar but it isn't working when I click on it. What is wrong?

A: If you can see the calendar but can not use it, this means that you need to update your flash plug-in. You may have flash installed in your browser, but a newer version may be needed for optimal performance. Go to the link above and update your plug-in.

Q: How can I find events?

A: You can find events three ways: through clicking on any day on the month view, through navigating to future, previous months and years using the arrow buttons, and doing either a simple or advanced search.

The main calendar view defaults to the current month. You can click on any highlighted day within the month to view a list of events posted for that day. If you click on a day that is not highlighted, a list of events posted for that month will appear.

To navigate to a future or past month or year, you can use the appropriate arrow buttons. The buttons with a single arrow will either navigate to future or past months, and the buttons with double arrows will navigate to either future or past years.

Finally, you can do a simple keyword search from the main event screen or perform an advanced search.

Q: Can I search multiple criteria on the advanced search screen?

A: Yes. You can use any combination of criteria when performing advanced searches.

Q: How do I view the details of an event?

A: You will be presented with a list of events when you click on a day that is highlighted or perform a search that returns results. Click on any of the event names and the event details will fill the screen below.

Q: How can I post an event?

A: You can submit an event to the Academy calendar by clicking on the 'Submit an event' button that appears on several calendar screens; filling out the form with all required fields filled (those fields with an * asterisk,) and submitting. The Academy will review all submissions before posting them and reserves the right to not post any event it believes to be inappropriate. 

Q: Can I register for an event through your website?

A: No. We do however provide, whenever possible, contact information for registrars or the like in the event detail page.
