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.

Event submission

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

1. Log in and click the Submit an Event button.
2. Enter the contact name (required) and a detailed event description (required).
3. To be featured on ecu.edu, give reason in the description and select Featured Event.
4. Enter the event date (required), start and end times (not required but preferred so it appears correctly on the mobile calendar).
5. Select if the event is a recurring event.
6. 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.
