Best Practices

Please follow these best practices in order to create performant, web-standard, and reliable events for the University Events Calendar.

  1. Only apply the “uec” keyword to events that meet UEC Event Requirements.
  2. Always add a Featured Image in your event. Please use web-optimized images in jpg or png format.
  3. Always include a description, date, time, and location. If you have ticketing or RSVPs for your event, be sure to create a call to action that links to the location where users can accomplish this.
  4. Do not edit your event’s title after it is created.
  5. Use APA formatting and follow the University Writing Style Guide when creating your event language to ensure it is conventional and meets university standards.
  6. Always make sure your event description and images meet Web Content Accessibility.
  7. Use tags to create sub-groups for your department, while simultaneously creating organizational tools for your users.
