EVENT CALENDAR HELP

Adding Events

Add an Event program will not warn you if you schedule an event that is already in the event calendar. Please check the calendar to see that the event has not already been posted.

Step 1 - Enter Event Details

1. Go to "Events Calendar" and click "Add an Event" button. You will be asked to login using your email ID and PIN.
2. Enter a short, descriptive title for the event.
3. Select the appropriate event type from the drop-down menu.
4. Enter the event description. Remember, details such as title, date, location and cost will be entered elsewhere, so use this space for other descriptive content.
5. Enter your audience group.
6. Enter the event website address (if it is available). The Event URL should be used for a reference to a web page or site associated with the event.
7. Enter event cost details in admission box
8. Select the campus from the drop-down menu
9. Enter event's contact information. Event submissions must include the name and contact details of the person responsible for the event. If the contact details are not supplied, the submission will be rejected.
10. Click "Step 2: Schedule the Event ——>>" to move to add event schedule details...

Step 2 - Enter Schedule Details

1. Select the year, month and day for the event's first scheduled start date. Put an end date in next box if event is more than a day. If the event is only one day, leave the end date empty. If the event spans a number of days (such as an exhibit, conference), select the ending year, month and day.
2. Select the start and end times for the event, if applicable. Some events, such as exhibits, may not have scheduled start and end times. These events will show up as all day events.
3. Enter the location for the event. Enter any additional location information, such as a room number with your location information.
4. Click the "Add" button - the page will be refreshed with your schedule details listed in the scheduled dates box. You can now enter additional schedule details for the event. This feature would be used primarily for events that are repeated on multiple days, such as a play or musical performance or multiple locations such as bi-campus events. Click "Add" to complete the new event entry.

Step 3 - Confirmation

After clicking "Add" to complete event entry/entries, you can click "Finished". This will redirect you to News@UNB home page indicating that your event will be reviewed by UNB staff prior to appearing in the UNB Event Calendar.

Event Calendar FAQ

Who can add Events?
Additions to the Calendar can only be made by University of New Brunswick faculty, staff and students. After you use the Add an Event button you will be asked to login using your email ID and PIN.

Why can't I see my event?
Once you have entered an event, you are the only person who can see it. It will not be visible for searches, browsing etc until it has been approved. Events posted in normal business hours should be visible to viewers that day. Events submitted after normal business hours should be available within 24 hours or on the next business day.

Who approves additions?
All additions have to be approved before they are displayed. The approval process is intended to prevent any frivolous or malicious events appearing. A designated authority will approve events each day, and once approved each event will then be visible for searching, browsing or display on Today's Events (if applicable).

Who is the Calendar available to?
The calendar is publicly accessible.

How do I Change Event details?
In the future, you will be able to change an event created by yourself. We are working on it. Meanwhile, changes to previously-submitted events can be sent to the Web Team via an e-mail at webteam@unb.ca. Enter the event title, event date (and any changes to the event date), along with a description of the changes required and your contact information.

How can I post my event on the UNB home page?
Entries posted on the events calendar are also listed on the UNB home page in the 'Events @ UNB' box. Once an entry is added to the events calendar, it is automatically considered for inclusion on the home page. You do not have to make an additional request for this information to be posted.

How can I include my events in my website?
We have a new tool which will allow you to easily include the events (both public and private) you have added to the calendar into your own web page. Enter your events into the calendar. Make sure your department is selected as a sponsor of the event. Go to our "Event Feeder" page and follow the instructions.
