Guidelines for contributing to OnCampus

OnCampus strives to tell the university’s story through its people, places and activities. Be it administrative coverage, research breakthroughs or a student gathering – there are millions of stories to tell and we need your help to tell them.

There are two ways to contribute to OnCampus – through the events calendar and through submitting your ideas for videos, articles and photography to the OnCampus team.

Submitting events:
The Events Calendar service is available only to faculty, staff and student members of The University of Texas at Austin community. A UT EID is required to submit items to the campus-wide event calendar. Event submissions will be reviewed and edited for publication by the Office of Public Affairs. Please allow a minimum of 48 hours for your events to be reviewed.

The event listed in your submission should:

  • be sponsored by an academic or administrative unit or by an officially sanctioned university organization (includes university sponsored and registered student organizations).
  • be of wide interest to The University of Texas at Austin community. Do not submit regular department/organization business meetings.
  • comply with the university's Responsible Use of Information Technology Policy.
  • not contain any offensive or inappropriate content.

Suggesting content ideas:
By completing the content suggestion form your ideas will be considered for you use on the site by a member of the OnCampus team. There are not restrictions on who can submit ideas. Items are selected to represent a wide range of colleges, schools and activities and demonstrate the depth and breadth of the university.

Suggestions associated with a date must be received three weeks prior to the event date to be considered. Please include as many details as possible when describing your idea. If your idea is about someone else, include his or her full name, phone number and e-mail address.

OnCampus staff will contact you if your suggestion is chosen to be included on the site.
