Web Events Calendar User Guide

OIT provides a basic calendar that may be utilized as by individual departments for departmental events. This is not to be confused with the WMU Events Calendar which is owned and managed by the Office of University Relations.

To request a departmental events calendar, submit an events calendar request, you will be e-mailed a calendar administrator account name, an initial password, and the URL of your calendar. No files will actually reside in your account as all calendar maintenance is performed via a Web interface.
