USI UNIVERSITY CALENDAR SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The USI online calendar provides information regarding USI events. Readers are able to search for event information or browse events using a variety of event types.

Guidelines
Calendar events must be submitted electronically via the online event submission form, following the appropriate submission and approval processes. To be posted, calendar events must meet these guidelines:

• Events must be associated with USI, its schools, departments, and programs.
  
• Calendar submissions should be event oriented rather than news items.
  
• Reminders and other follow-up submissions are not permitted
  
• Events must affect more than just the members of an individual department. For example, a departmental staff meeting is not appropriate; however, the spring faculty meeting is appropriate.

Calendar of Events submission and approval procedures
University departments, schools, offices, and registered student organizations* can submit information to the calendar. Members of the campus community are eligible to submit information to the calendar using their MyUSI login credentials. People who submit calendar entries are referred to as authors. Content will be reviewed before being posted online.

Authors are responsible for the content and accuracy of the submission. Postings cannot include profanity, references to alcoholic beverages, or material contrary to the mission of the University of Southern Indiana. Calendar postings must adhere to University of Southern Indiana's Appropriate Use Policy.

* Registered student organizations are permitted to enter their events via the online event submission form. The organization's advisor must approve the posted events before they are submitted. Registered student organizations are expected to comply with any additional policies and regulations of the Student Development office.
