Purpose of the Tufts Event Calendar

The Tufts University Event Calendar provides a consolidated listing of official events taking place on all the campuses as well as off-campus locations. By advertising seminars, cultural events and other activities, the calendar encourages communication and community within Tufts University, provides more comprehensive information about the University to the external world, and helps serve the University's educational and research missions.

What is an event?

Events include lectures, workshops, meetings, training programs, arts events, sporting events, social events, and academic deadlines. They may include on-campus events or selected off-campus events sponsored by a Tufts University group.

These events may be open to the general public, the Tufts community or a segment of the Tufts community. Since the Calendar can be viewed by the world, any one submitting an event needs to specify who can attend the event if it is not open to the public or to the entire Tufts community.

How can I post an event?

To be eligible to post an event:

• You must be a member of the Tufts Community. [alumni, student, faculty, staff]
• You must have a Tufts.edu email address.

Currently, the following events cannot be posted to the Tufts Events Calendar:

• On-campus events that are hosted by someone who is not a member of the Tufts community.
• A personal event.
• Student organization activities and meetings. These are hosted on Tuftslife.com.
• Department or organization events whose details should not be visible to a wide audience.

Restrictions on postings

Calendar Editors have the authority to decline to post inappropriate events. They may remove events that are:

• Illegal (after conferring with legal counsel)
• In conflict with Tufts policy
• Not an event, by definition
• Past the mandatory one week deadline. All events must be submitted AT LEAST one week before they occur.

Posting Guidelines

• Anyone with a Tufts.edu email address may submit an event to the calendar for consideration. Events will be reviewed by a calendar editor who may reject an event if it is not appropriate. The editor may email you notice of any actions (approve/edit/reject) taken by the editor on your submission.
• Submission of events: Events need to be entered into the calendar at least one week prior to the actual event date. Submissions will not be accepted if the deadline has passed. Likewise, events cannot be entered more than 365 days prior to the event date.
• The web event submission form will generate an error message and will not be submitted unless all required fields are filled in.
