University Events Calendar
The University Events Calendar brings events from the Communications Office calendar into a calendar available in Blackboard. The entry for each event contains information such as the time it takes place at, where it is located and a description of the event. The calendar is updated every day with new events. Both staff and students can view upcoming events on the calendar. If you would like to have an event added to the calendar, please fill in this form. Please see this guide on how to access the University Events Calendar.
