This article provides Faculty, Students, and Staff with background information about the UConn Event Calendar, as well as an overview of its tools and features and a list of service contacts.
The UConn Events Calendar is composed of hundreds of separate calendars, all combined into a single view. It is the official resource for Students, Faculty, Staff, and Guests to view and post events taking place on all UConn campuses.
Calendar Users
The events calendar is overseen by Calendar Managers and Calendar Admins.
Calendar Manager
Calendar Managers can:
- Approve new events for a calendar.
- Edit or delete existing events.
- Submit events to their calendar directly, skipping approval.
Calendar Admin
- Have all the same permissions as a Calendar Manager.
- Add or delete people from the Manager list.
- Promote a Manager to Admin.
- Doing so revokes their own admin access.
- Be listed as the primary contact person for that calendar, but not for each event.
- Control the Calendar Settings (e.g., allowing public submission).
Public Event Submission
Anyone at UConn with a valid NetID can submit an event to the Event Calendar. Upon logging in with their NetID credentials, users can submit an event by selecting a calendar from those that permit public submissions. A submission goes to the admin and manager(s) of the primary calendar where the event was submitted for approval. Modifications to the event after submission can be made by the primary calendar admin and manager(s).
Cross-Listing Events
All Calendar Managers can cross-list an event. While events are organized by a single calendar, they can be cross-listed with many others. When an event is cross-listed, it appears not only in its original calendar but also in other calendars that choose to list the event.
