What's My Event Type?
Choosing the correct event type is an important part of your MSU Denver event calendar submission. Please review how to use the event type filters before you select your filters. Do not select all filters, but be thoughtful and be selective on the filters you choose. Similar considerations should be used for the audience filter.
- Awards and Recognition – this filter is designated for events that include an awards or recognition component.
- Ceremonies – this filter is designed specifically for the Commencement ceremonies, but can also be used for the academic specialty ceremonies (i.e., hooding and pinning ceremonies)
- Dates and Deadlines – this filter is primarily used to indicate important academic dates and deadlines for students.
- Equity, Diversity and Inclusion – this filter indicates events that have an equity, diversity and inclusion focus, where the event will touch on ways to promote an inclusive community of learners, an awareness and appreciation of diverse perspectives and identities, and the establishment of policies, practices, programs, and resources designed to embrace and enhance diversity, equity and inclusion. Generally, these events are also hosted or sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
- Health and Wellness – this filter indicates events that have a health or wellness focus. Usually, the events are hosted by the Health Center at Auraria.

- Social Responsibility – this filter is designed for events that engage individuals in a call to action that would positively benefit the environment or society, such as civic engagement events, the Dialogues Program series and more.
- Virtual Event – this filter is reserved for events that are only virtual, however it can be used by events that are also hybrid.
- Volunteer Opportunity – this filter is used for events that are seeking/providing opportunities for volunteers.

Before starting your MSU Denver event calendar submission, check the calendar for major events scheduled on the same day. When planning your event — and before starting your marketing and promotions — check the calendar to see if your event falls on the same day as any other prominent or large-scale events. When possible, try to schedule events strategically and be aware of your audience’s availability.
Next, solidify all your event details, including the title, date, time and location, audience, your event summary, a graphic or flyer, a registration link when applicable, and the name and contact information for the event lead. Then you can proceed to posting.
We suggest using at least one event type filter, but no more than five. Submitters should not select all filters.
First, confirm if anyone in your department is already a licensed user. Second, consider how frequently you need to post events. Any person or department that hosts infrequent, one-off events should continue to publish their events via the submission form. Those units with a high volume of events can use the Contact the Calendar Team button on the MSU Denver Events Calendar, or send the calendar team an email with your question. We’ll follow up to assess the unit needs.
Event submissions are reviewed and published twice a week according to the capacity of the University Events Team.
Four to six weeks ahead of the event date.
Events on the calendar do not expire. They are still searchable after the event and will not be removed after the event is over. However, if you need to cancel your event you can do so via the submission receipt that should’ve been emailed to you.
On the left-hand side of the screen, under the calendar icon, users can enter specific keywords to find events of interest. For example, search “career” and all event postings including the word “career” will populate.
Customize your view by navigating to the tabs just above the calendar of content. This will allow you to change the viewing format to tile, table, list, day or schedule. You can also select Audience type or Event Sponsor to find events of interest.
To filter events posted by an office or department, either use the calendar search feature to search on the name or partial name of the sponsoring department. Alternately, you may filter on the event sponsor using the “Event Sponsor” pull-down menu and select a department to display only events sponsored by that department.
Streamline links whenever possible. Be certain to manually set a hyperlink on extremely long link text, such as Microsoft teams meeting links.
Events submitted without University sponsorship are not accepted.
Representatives of student organizations are encouraged to submit sponsored events to this calendar.
For multi-day events, we encourage listing one event spanning over multiple days, with the event start day being the first day and the event end date being the last day. The details corresponding to each day should be listed in the event description.
- Once your submitted event is approved by the Calendar team (2x/week), you will receive a confirmation email receipt. This email will include a “Withdraw event submission” link that allows you to cancel the event, if needed.
