(Not to mention, a master calendar and master\u2019s degree programs can be somewhat confusing for high school students and search engines.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I add an event to the Event Calendar\/ my department\u2019s website?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our new website is more efficient when it comes to event promotion.\u00a0 When adding an event to the Event calendar you may assign it to also appear on your department\/organization\u2019s website by selecting it on the Event Categorization drop-down menu. This also allows you to Select Multiple if the event is relevant to multiple groups in the same department or co-sponsored by many groups.\u00a0 (eg. The Society of Accounting Students Speaker series could logically be found on the student organization\u2019s site as well as the Accountancy department.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the new event system work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/book-an-event\/\">https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/book-an-event\/<\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintpeters.edu\/book-an-event\/request\/\">instructional video<\/a>.

(They must check the old system to honor earlier requests.\u00a0 Over time this will lessen.).\u00a0 You will receive an email to notify you of the decision.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, the calendar manager will get a request to approve your event for the categories you have requested.\u00a0 This is usually handled by a webmaster who is checking to ensure that your department calendar doesn\u2019t get bombarded with unrelated events.\u00a0 When the category is approved you will get a third email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>What can I do with the new event system?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may search for a room, reserve a room, choose a basic maintenance layout, and promote the event on the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AVPeter\u2019s event calendar.\u00a0 (It does not handle A\/V requests, catering, etc. )<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I reserve a room without adding it to the calendar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely.\u00a0 The last question on the request form asks if you want it to appear on the calendar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m having trouble getting a room.\u00a0 Who can I contact?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can\u2019t get past the login?
