Canceling an Event
If you are no longer going to hold an event or if the date of the event has been changed, update the event title and the descriptive text. DO NOT DELETE THE EVENT. That way, users who have expressed interest in the event will receive a notification that the event is canceled or changed. Users are not notified of deleted events.
Logging In
If you have access to the Comet Calendar, you will log in using the “Log In” link on the calendar home page.
Through the Office of Information Technology (OIT), Web Services has set up a single sign-on (SSO) for users. So you will use your usual NetID credentials to log in to the platform.
And you’re in!
Find the Event
1. In the dropdown menu, you will select Dashboard.
You will find all of the live events that you submitted under Events I’m Organizing.
For events in your department that you did not submit, you can search the event name on the Comet Calendar homepage.
2. Select the event you would like to edit from the Dashboard or from the search result list.
3. Once on the webpage for the selected event, you will then click the Admin Event Editor button.
Canceling the Event
1. Put “Canceled” in the event title. DO NOT DELETE THE EVENT.
2. Add the sentence: “This event has been canceled.” at the beginning of the event description. If the date has been changed or the event is now virtual, add the word “UPDATE:” and then explain the changes. For example: “UPDATE: This event is now scheduled for May 1, 2024.”
3. Save your changes.
