• Login with the “Submit an event” button and use your campus ID and password.
  
  • Public Submission form instructions
  
  
  • You should also select the College of Law under the Colleges and School category. There are also categories for the centers, clinics, student organizations, career services, etc. under College of Law and you should select any that apply because that allows the event to feed onto those pages.
  
  
  • Once you are done entering info, click “Add Event” at the bottom of the page. The event will go into a pending approval queue. Most events are approved within 24 hours of submission.
  
  
  • All College of Law events will appear on the main College of Law events calendar. It is highly encouraged to indicate in the event copy whether an event is intended only for College of Law students, faculty, alumni, etc.

• This can be helpful if you want to encourage people to RSVP earlier than the week before the event.
• Blog posts about events will not be shared in the newsletter during the week of the event – because the event will be promoted in the “Events” section.
