Push Events to the University Calendar

Which events can I publish to the University calendar?

Events published on the University calendar are considered public events and must conform with the BYU Speakers and Events Policy. This policy states that "...any event that (1) is intended for an audience broader than a single college or educational support unit, (2) will be open to the media, or (3) is planned to be streamed publicly or recorded to be shown online, event organizers must obtain approvals from the applicable department chair or director and from the applicable dean or executive director. Once these approvals are obtained, approval must be obtained from the responsible vice president..." (see the full policy for exceptions). These approvals must be obtained before
