Before You Begin

There are two ways to add new events to the Illinois State University Events Calendar. The Events Calendar is located at http://events.illinoisstate.edu/.

Any student, faculty, or staff member, as well as any member of the public, can suggest an event to be added to the Events Calendar. To be considered for the Events Calendar, a suggested event must be targeted to members of the University, and it must be appropriate for promotion by an institution of higher education.

Authorized Events Calendar authors can create and publish events directly to the Events Calendar without needing further approval. If you would like to become an Events Calendar author, refer to 1554: How to become an authorized Event Calendar author.
