Campus Calendar Policy

Public Events

Events on the Campus Calendar at www.northeastern.edu/calendar must be:

  • Sponsored or hosted by a Northeastern University college, department or student organization
  • Open to the campus community AND the general public

The Marketing & Communications Department reviews event submissions from university departments and colleges before posting them to the Campus Calendar. The Student Activities Office reviews event submissions from student organizations. Approved submissions will be posted to the Campus Calendar within 2 business days. If an event submission is not accepted, the submitter will be notified within 2 business days. All events will be considered free unless otherwise stated in the event description.

Faculty/Staff Events

Campus events for faculty and staff that are NOT open to the general public may be submitted using the department event submission form. These events, if approved, will appear on the Faculty/Staff Calendar on the myNEU portal. The Faculty/Staff calendar will also display the events that appear on the Campus Calendar.

  • Select “no” on the event submission form under the “Open to the public?” section if the event is not open to the public
  • Submission requirements, required information, and appropriate use policies are consistent for both the Faculty/Staff calendar and the Campus Calendar

Student Events

Campus events for students that are NOT open to the general public may be submitted using the event submission form. (Note: Events sponsored by student organizations must be submitted using the student organization event submission form and will be reviewed by the Student Activities office. Student organizations are required to use @neu.edu email address for the contact. Requests using other email addresses will not be approved.) All student events, if approved, will appear on the Student Calendar on the Student Affairs website and on the myNEU portal.
