The UI Events Calendar drives website events listings (like Campus Activities Board or APACC) on the web.

Adding your event, step-by-step

  1. Log in to content.uiowa.edu here with your Hawk ID
  2. Choose "add new event"
  3. Fill out the form with your event details
  4. Include a detailed event description to keep your audience informed
  5. Tag your event: this is important! What tags do I use?
  6. Under "unit(s)" – choose relevant units related to the event (see "adding event to your website" below)
  7. Submit your event!

After submitted, your event will be approved before appearing on websites and calendars. Write to events@uiowa.edu for more information on that process.

 

What tags do I use?

Adding tags makes events appear on multiple websites. 

When you tag an event before adding it to the calendar, your tag can make that same event appear on various websites, like your own!

Below are some common tags used in the Division of Student Life, and how those events will appear when tagged.
