Overview

ECU's university-wide calendar allows departments and other units to add public events and is managed by ECU News Services. When editing your events, note that this tool works best in Firefox or Chrome. This calendar includes many social media features, so always follow ECU Social Media Guidelines and the ECU Social Media Regulation when posting information.

Direct your questions to ecunews@ecu.edu.

Verification requirements

An event cannot be added to the ECU calendar until it is verified.

• Contact information is required, or event is not verified.
• Title, description, contact email or phone number and start date are minimum requirements. The more information provided, the more likely the event will be verified.
• Direct event verification questions to ecunews@ecu.edu.

Submit event

Remember that the more information you provide, the more likely it is your event will be verified!

1. Log in and click Submit an Event in the top right corner of calendar.ecu.edu.
2. Enter the event name (required) and a detailed event description (required).
3. Enter the event date (required), start and end times (not required but preferred so it appears correctly on the mobile calendar).
4. Enter the event location and room number (if available). Campus locations with images pop up as you type. You can upload a different image, if preferred.
5. If the location is not in the system, enter a physical address. A Google map is displayed on the event website if Google can find the location address.
6. Add hashtags, the event's website address and/or Facebook event page link (if available).
7. Enter the contact name and phone number/email address of the person available for questions.
8. Upload a photo (if available). To avoid cropping, size the image to 4:3 ratio (640×480).
9. Choose one or more associated departments from the drop-down menu (return to the drop-down menu to select each unit). If your department shows ECU Calendar events on its website, choose the correct department so the events feed works properly.
10. Choose the target audience and group (only if associated with a group). You can only choose one.
11. Enter the ticket purchase location and cost. Leave these fields blank for free events.
