About Events @ UOW

The Events @ UOW calendars follow the University's mission of "community collaboration and service" by providing a one-stop source of information for UOW students, staff, parents, alumni and members of the broader community.

Benefits of the University Event Calendars:

• Connects you to the UOW community and beyond, quickly and easily
• Serves as a guide for planning campus events
• Enables you to view all UOW events or to scope them to specific calendars, campuses or timeframes
• You can search for events, print events or export events to Outlook or any calendaring software
• You can send event invitations by email

The Major Calendars & Subcalendars:

Events are stored in dozens of specialist Subcalendars. These Subcalendars are grouped together inside Major Calendars to make it easier for you to view related events. The Major Calendars are:

• All UOW Events: events from all the calendars except staff-specific events and the Community Billboard.
• Academic Events: events related to study, enrolment and administration.
• Student life: activities, organisations and support services specifically for students.
• Prospective Student Events: evenings, scholarships and application dates for future students.
• Public Interest: non-entertainment events that might be of interest to the broader community.
• Arts & Entertainment: films, exhibits, comedy, social events and concerts.
• Sports & Recreation: competitions, events and classes for fitness, swimming and other sports.
• Alumni: events for and by students who have graduated from UOW.
• Staff Events: training and events of interest to UOW staff.
• Community Billboard: non-UOW events of interest to the community. Only non-profit, fundraising or community events are accepted.

Overview of using the Events @ UOW calendars

Viewing Calendars:

Click on one of the Major Calendars displayed on the homepage and listed across the top of any page.

• Choosing Calendars & Campuses: Use the "Events by Campus" pull-down menu to quickly choose campuses. Alternately you can pick and combine from the entire list of campuses and calendars by clicking on the "Choose" link at the top-right of screen.
• Choosing Timeframes: Use the timeframe tabs to view calendar events within a range of dates. The timeframes are day, week, 2-week, month, or year.
• Choosing Display Styles: Use the "Cal" and "List" tabs to switch between displaying as an events list or as a calendar-style grid format.

Viewing Events:

Click on an event's title to view the details in a pop-up window.

• Searching for Events: Use the "Search" link to find an event. The search will match a keyword or exact phrase within the calendars, campuses and range of dates that you specify.
• Printing Events: Use the "Print" button to display a clean, printer-friendly view of the events. You should set you printer layout to "landscape" when printing with the calendar-style grid.
• Exporting Events: Click the "Export" button to export events from one or more calendars into a comma-separated text file. This file can be directly imported into Outlook or any other calendaring software.

Submitting Events:

Use the "Submit Event" button to suggest an event for inclusion in the Events Calendar. It will be made available after it has been reviewed and approved.

• Campus Events: Specify a campus by which the event can be filtered in the calendar view. If it occurs on multiple campuses or off-campus, then select "Unspecified."
• Repeating Events: To quickly add a recurring event, first designate how it should repeat (i.e., every week). Then specify either the total number of times the event should repeat or an end date until which it should repeat.

Refer to Guidelines for Submitting Events for more detailed information on submitting events.
