The Difference between myUSF and USFCA and where should your event go

When the website was redesigned a couple years ago, the decision was made to split it into two different sites, one for internal audiences (students, staff and faculty) and one for external audiences. As a result, we now have two separate calendar pages. This can lead to some confusion over where your event should be posted or where you should look for events you are interested in.

Events should only be added to the external site when they are open to an external audience. An external audience is anyone who is not currently affiliated with USF such as prospective students, alumni, or San Francisco residents living near USF. Some examples of common external events are information sessions, sporting events, and community events.

On the flip side, events should only be added to myUSF when they are open to current students, faculty, or staff. Just about every single event will be open to internal audiences except for information sessions.

It is also possible for an event to be posted on both sites, so long as it is open to both internal and external audiences.

WebServices reserves the right to remove an event from either calendar if the event does not fit the proper criteria. If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to email us at webservices@usfca.edu.

Event Batch Editing for Multi-Day or Recurring Events

A lesser known, but very useful feature on our marketing site, is the ability to edit multiple events at once. It can be a huge time-saver when you have events that span multiple days or recurring events that happen once or twice a week.

This feature is available to anyone with the ability to publish. Unfortunately, this functionality is not available to authors.
