About the EASY System

To Submit an Event:

Any NIU student, faculty or staff member may submit an event.

1. Click the “Submit an Event” button on the calendar home page.
2. You will be prompted to log in (students: use your Z-ID; faculty/staff: use your Novell ID).
3. Complete the form with the details of your events.

Your event will be approved and posted on the calendar in timely manner.

Guidelines for Submitting an Event

Most events occur only a single time, however, the calendar does allow for an event to be posted on mulitple days. Please select the appropriate repeat type and duration.

If you are publicizing a non-event, such as a contest, call for proposals, award nomination, etc., please post that information on the deadline date only. If your audience for this information is faculty and staff, please also submit it for inclusion in Northern Today. If your audience is campus-wide or students-only, please submit it to the Northern Star.

Subscription management:

Any NIU student, faculty or staff member may sign up to receive a weekly e-mail digest of events on campus.

To manage your subscription choices:

1. Click on the “Subscriptions” button on the calendar home page.
2. You will be prompted to log in (students: use your Z-ID; faculty/staff: use your Novell ID).
3. Check the boxes next to the calendars for which you would like to receive weekly event notices. To unsubscribe, uncheck the boxes. Then press "Update."

A digest of events in the categories to which you have subscribed will be sent to your NIU e-mail address every Monday morning and will include information on events for the following two weeks.
