A Note on Terminology
The default term for a course on Connect sites is SLM User Group. Your site may use different terms for both SLM and user groups.
Similarly, default terms like need and agency may appear as opportunity and organization, or something similar. Screens on your site may look slightly different than those shown in this article.
SLM User Groups
The SLM User Groups page shows your courses and provides a visual overview of your progress:
Bar chart: Submitted hours vs. remaining hours
Donut chart: Percent complete toward your course goals
Table: Courses, hours submitted, and percent complete
Access your SLM User Groups area:
Log in to your Connect site.
From your profile menu, select SLM User Groups.
Notes:
The table includes both pending and approved hours.
By default, the table shows courses from the most recent academic period. To view a different period, select it from the Block dropdown and click Go.
