Add Exhibit Events

CU Boulder offers many exhibits throughout the year.  Exhibit events are set up with specific options that need to be selected on the events details page. Event Admins are the only users who may add exhibit events to the university events calendar since this permission level has access to the required exhibit option settings.

Login

You must login to submit an event or make any changes to an event you have already submitted.

Click the Login link at the top of the   calendar homepage. Use your CU Identikey username and password to sign in.

If this is your first time signing in to the university calendar, you will be prompted for your name and CU email in order to create a new profile. 

Calendar Admin Dashboard

Use the calendar administration dashboard to add exhibit events because the dashboard event submission page offers additional and advanced functionality.

Below your profile image is a list of platform navigation links.

Select Calendar Admin

Add an Event

Event Form

Edit the event Name and description for the exhibit. We suggest that you keep the character limit below 400 - we do not impose a limit but it is best to maximize the impact of of the event description on the events calendar with a short, tight summary. Then link to an event webpage with full details. Descriptions must comply with the events calendar policies of accessible content.
