Using the University Calendar

The "University Calendar" is the official calendar of events. It is intended to provide complete information about UC events for the campus community and the general public.

Search for an Event: Use the search box at the top of the right-hand navigation area to find a specific event. Type in all or part of the name and then click “Go.”

Get Event Details: Click on the Event Name for a separate window that contains detailed information about the event.

View Event Information: The default calendar view (calendar.uc.edu) shows major university events by date for the current week. 

Using the calendar navigation, you can adjust your view in the following ways:

• Choose “Events by Week” or “Events by Month” view from the bottom navigation bar to see events for the chosen time period.
• Click the calendar image in the upper left-hand corner to choose a specific day, week or month.
• Click the arrows each side of the calendar title/date to view a different week.

Topical Calendars: Choose one of the subject areas listed under “Choose a Calendar” to view a variety of calendars with information specific to a topic or category. Note that additional items will be included on these calendars which may not appear on the University Calendar.

View Location Information: Click on either the “Locations by Day” or Locations by Week” link (bottom navigation bar) to view campus spaces where events are held. The default view shows the Alms Buildings spaces available on today’s date. Use the drop-down navigation bar to choose different buildings. Navigation within the Locations view is similar to the Events view in the following ways:

• Choose “Day” or “Week” view from the bottom navigation bar to see location usage for the chosen time period.
• Click the calendar image in the upper left-hand corner to choose a specific day, week or month.
• Click the arrows each side of the calendar title/date to view a different week.

Get Location Details: Click on the Location name for a separate window that contains detailed information about the location.
