Your instructor sets a start date and a due date for the Activity Tracker assignment. That stretch of days is your tracking window, and it is the only period eFit counts toward your grade.
Why this matters
The most common version of "my tracker is connected but eFit shows nothing" turns out to be a course that has not started counting yet. You spend fifteen minutes connecting a tracker, the dashboard still reads zero, and the natural conclusion is that the connection failed. It did not.
Where to find your dates
- Your syllabus. Open Syllabus in the sidebar. This is the authoritative copy, and it is what your instructor maintains.
- Your dashboard. The Upcoming Deadlines panel shows Activity Tracking Ends with the date and a countdown.
- Activity Data. Open Activity Data in the sidebar under Coursework. The day-by-day table lists every day in your window, first to last, so the first row is your start date and the last row is your due date.
What counts and what does not
- Days inside the window count toward your activity grade.
- Days before the start date do not count, however many steps you walked.
- Days after the due date do not count.
- Today usually fills in overnight, so the current day sitting empty is normal. See Refresh My Activity if you want to pull it sooner.
Connect before the window opens
Connecting early is the right move. When eFit first links to your account it imports what Google Health already holds back to your assignment start date, so a tracker connected in week zero has your opening days covered. A tracker connected three weeks late can only bring back what your phone actually recorded and kept.
The one thing that genuinely loses data is never opening the Google Health app on your phone, because the phone only uploads while that app runs. See Open the Google Health App Regularly.
Reading your grade inside the window
Open My Grade in the sidebar. The weekly breakdown covers the weeks that have elapsed inside your window. A week still in progress shows a partial figure and moves as the rest of the week arrives, which is why a grade checked on a Monday looks different by Friday. The full explanation is in Understanding Your Weekly Activity Grade.
If the dates look wrong
Your instructor owns these dates, and only they can change them. If your window ends before your term does, or starts after your class began, tell your instructor. If you missed days inside the window for a documented reason such as illness or injury, ask your instructor about an excused absence: see Understanding Your Weekly Activity Grade for how excused days are handled.
