The University Events Calendar is only for events organized, hosted, sponsored or co-sponsored by University departments, colleges, centers and institutes, and officially sanctioned student organizations. Events may be open to the campus community — including faculty, staff, students, and/or alumni — or open to the general public. Events may be hosted on- or off-campus.
Event submissions from individuals or organizations from outside of the University will not be accepted, with the exception of conferences or other events (either sponsored by the University or have a broad appeal to the University community) that are held in University venues.
Events must be submitted through the Submit Events form. Events that do not meet the University Events Calendar requirements may be sent back to the requester for modifications or may be declined. Personal events or solicitations are not permitted, and will be declined. Please review the University Events Calendar submission requirements below for further information on the event submission approval process.
The University reserves the right to approve, deny or make special considerations for any event submitted to the calendar.Posting an event online will help draw people to your event. Make sure that you make the most of this opportunity. Below are a few best practices for submitting your event.
Submission Requirements
Before you submit
- Your event must be a University affiliated event per the University Events Calendar guidelines.
- Reserve your location before submitting your event to the calendar.
- Confirm that all of your event information is current and accurate.
- Proofread your event information.
- Review some of the existing events on the calendar to familiarize yourself with the general style and format for events. Also review the best practices.
- Submit your event well in advance of the event date, and
- If you are not an event admin, you event submission will require approval, so allow 24-48 hours for calendar platform administrators to review and post an event.
Event approvals
Using the event submission form does not guarantee that your event will be published to the University Events Calendar.
