Calendar Overview
Overview
Creating Connections and Community
The
College events calendar
aims to improve and streamline the experience of undergraduates, enhance administrative processes, and encourage greater collaboration in our shared interests and strengths. More broadly, the calendar connects people across the University and College.
Logging In
Anyone with a HarvardKey can log into the calendar. Logging in allows users to follow departments, offices, and locations, express interest in events, and see private events.
Non-Harvard users can only view public-facing events on the calendar.
Event Submissions
All event submissions will be reviewed before they are posted. During the review process, submissions will be checked for spelling, clarity, conciseness, and appropriateness.
Please allow up to 3 business days for your event to be posted.
Only events that are open to undergraduates will be approved
The listing of events on this platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement or sponsorship of the content of such events.
For more questions on submitting events, visit the
Calendar help page
or contact the
Harvard College Communications team
with any questions.
Events should:
be sponsored by an official University office, department, center, or other organization
be open to undergraduates
include a time, place, and complete description
be placed in appropriate categories
include a photo description (alt text), if applicable

contain or promote offensive or inappropriate content (profanity, alcohol, etc.)
