About the Master Calendar

The Master Calendar is the University’s central online calendar. It provides information to campus and community members and is the source for information about campus events that is sent to the media.

Adding Events to the Master Calendar

• Use keywords to tag events, so that they can pulled from the calendar as a set.
• Whenever possible, use recurrence patterns when your event happens on multiple days.
• Always include a web page for more information if one exists about the event.
• The master calendar allows for submission of department-specific events. Mark these items as non-global by saying yes to the question “Should this event be excluded from the master calendar (which means it will only display in the primary sponsor's calendar)?”
