All campus events and date-driven information for students, faculty and staff must
be posted to the University Calendar.
- An Academic Calendar view will be maintained by the Office of the Registrar for the current academic year
and two future years.
- An Events Calendar view will be provided for events hosted by or supported through a Augusta University
entity such as a college, school, department, program, division, center or institute,
office or club. The Events will be updated by each responsible entity as soon as
the date is finalized so the calendar becomes a useful tool for communication and
reducing scheduling conflicts.
As new events are being planned, the Master Calendar should be reviewed by any Augusta
University group who wishes to host or sponsor an event to avoid obvious schedule
conflicts.
- Prior to submitting a calendar request, the event organizer must reserve the event
location through the proper channels, and ensure that the times associated with the
event are correct. An event being published to the calendar does not reserve the location.
- Event listings must include title, date/time, location, sponsor, description and contact
information. A website link for additional information is encouraged.
- Appropriate events include, but are not limited to, lectures, workshops, seminars,
arts events, cultural events, community service events, social events, information
sessions and athletic events that are of interest to a broad constituent group (students,
faculty, staff).
- Although two weeks is best for event promotion, calendar requests must be submitted
at least 5 business days before the event.
Events that should not be published on the University calendar include but are not
limited to, events that lack appropriate sponsorship by a Augusta University entity
or lack a clear Augusta University connection. Classes, sales, services, office/lab
hours, department meetings, student club meetings, save the dates, and application
deadlines will not be displayed on the calendar. In general, no event should be listed
that spans multiple weeks.
The Office of Communications determines what listings appear on the University Calendar,
the Featured Events calendar and the Featured Events sidebar on the Augusta University
home page and PAWS. DCM reserves the right to delete and/or edit event listings if they do not meet appropriate
criteria, violate local, state or federal law, or Augusta University policies and
procedures.
