Approval Process

Submitted events are reviewed and moderated before appearing on calendars in W&M Events. After you make your calendar selection(s) and click Recommend, your event becomes a "pending" event, subject to approval by the administrator(s) of the calendar(s) you have selected. The event is automatically approved on any calendars to which you recommended the event and that you manage.

The W&M Featured Events calendar is moderated by Web Development & Strategy. Individuals in the various schools, departments, offices and groups moderate their respective calendars.

Note: To ensure compliance with web accessibility guidelines, event submissions must include only photos or text-free graphics. Beginning April 17, 2026, events that do not meet these requirements will not be approved for inclusion in the W&M Featured Events calendar. 

Check Event Status

You can check the status of your event at any time by logging in and navigating to My Events.

Event Status After Edits

Editing an event that was previously approved will automatically revert it to a pending status (on calendars you do not manage). Calendar admins will be prompted to review and approve your edited event in accordance with their notification preferences.
