Common App EC's

I was wondering I have 9 EC's right now and I don't do all 9 at the same time they vary on the time of year. I was just wondering I haven't gotten an common app account but is there a section where i can add the different months I spent on the activity so it doesn't look like I did all 9 EC's at once.

When entering your extracurriculars on Common App, you're required to state your grade level (9th, 10th, 11th and/or 12th) as well as [hours per week] and [weeks per year], so colleges won't assume you're doing all these ECs at the same time and show specific time commitment as well.
