Generally, all Queen's faculty and staff and students are encouraged to have their Queen's events posted on the Campus Events Calendar. Access to the calendar admin area is granted at the discretion of the calendar manager.

Authorization to post events can be given to faculty, staff, and elected members/representatives of the student government/student groups. Contact the Events Calendar Administrator at web@queensu.ca, and with your request, please include the following information:

• FIRST AND LAST NAME:
• NET ID (your Queen's user name or "LDAP". Don't include your password):
• QUEEN'S E-MAIL ADDRESS:
• RELATIONSHIP TO QUEEN'S (faculty, staff, student):
• JOB TITLE WITH DEPARTMENT/AREA:
• DESCRIPTION OF THE KIND OF EVENTS YOU WILL BE POSTING:

Undergraduate students who would like to have an event posted within the AMS area of the calendar (includes ASUS, COMSOC, CESA, ENGSOC, LSS, MCRC, NSS, and RTS) should forward event details to: communications@ams.queensu.ca.

Graduate and professional students who would like to have an event posted within the SGPS area calendar, should forward event details to info@sgps.ca.

New calendar "layers" can be added as required.
