Campus Calendar Event Submission
The university calendar is comprised of user-generated content. The University Relations department is responsible for review and approval of submissions, however, it is the responsibility of the user submitting the event to update or edit the submission if any changes are required. This includes university event submissions that are also promoted elsewhere (i.e. social media events, the Golden Bear Athletics website or city/community calendars).
University Relations will review submissions once each business day. During weekends and semester recesses, calendar submissions will be reviewed periodically. If you have a specific need for a calendar submission or revision to be reviewed or approved outside of the schedule noted above, please notify University Relations at techrelations@mail.wvu.edu.
