Events

Event promotions and self-service options

Arts communications does not manage event coordination for the faculty, but we can provide tools and guidance for marketing events that have a focus on broad participation by audiences across the faculty, university and external to the university. 

  1. Contact your unit’s website administrator and ask them to post the event to LiveWhale and share it with the Faculty of Arts, Arts Engage, and UCalgary News and Events calendar groups.
    1. This will allow your event listing to feed onto events listing pages be included in our Arts Engage newsletter and the UToday event listings.
    2. Your unit's administrative assistant is the web admin for your unit. You can find them on the contact page of your website.
    3. If your event has an equity, diversity, and inclusion focus, be sure to have the administrator share it to Arts Equity, Diversity and Inclusion as well.

Our form helps you give us all the pertinent information we need to promote your event.

Social Media

Want Help Using Social Media?

Please contact Marion Garden prior to creating any new accounts. 

The guiding principle for social media activities at the University of Calgary is to look for an existing channel for your content before attempting to create a new one. We have a number of existing channels within the Faculty of Arts that may be the right place for your message.

Web Release Notes 

The Web Service team releases bug fixes, enhancements and other items on a routine basis. On this page you can find a summary of the most recent release as well as previous releases to the UCalgary Web System.

For Faculty of Arts Schools, Departments, Centres and Institutes sites

Please reach out to your unit’s administrative assistant to request website modifications.

For research group, lab, or personal research sites

Submit a ticket. This puts your request in the service queue and ensures that it reaches the correct person. Select:

  • Undergraduate students groups, clubs or teams who are sanctioned by the Student's Union can create a website on Club Hub.
  • We do not provide space for graduate clubs or clubs who are not SU-sanctioned.

Try these basic troubleshooting tips first.

A website emergency includes:

  • My site is down > Enter an IT ticket
  • The network servers are down > Enter an IT ticket
  • I can’t log in to my site > The login path is always the root domain and /user. For example, arts.ucalgary.ca/user for the arts.ucalgary.ca/communication-media-film site. If you're still having problems, submit an IT ticket.
  • I’m having trouble posting something that needs to be live right now due to a date or time dependency (i.e., deadline change, event cancellation or change). > Contact Nikki Reimer

Your unit's administrative assistant is the web admin for your unit. You can find them on the contact page of your website.
