How Do I Add An Event to the Event Calendar?

The public events calendar pulls events directly from 25Live. To add an event to the calendar, the event must be created in 25Live with Public as the Event Type. Once the event has been confirmed, the event will appear on the public events calendar.

How Do I Make Changes to Events on the Event Calendar?

To edit events on the event calendar, the changes must be made in 25Live. Changes cannot be made on events.chapman.edu.

Note: If you want to replace an existing Event Image or Detail Image, the filename must be updated as well. If the existing and new filenames are the same, the calendar will not detect a change, and the image will not be updated.

How Long Will It Take for My Changes to Appear Online?

It can take up to 10 minutes for the changes made in 25Live to appear on the calendar.
