All events on calendar.usc.edu are accessible to the public, so anyone can search, browse, or view events at USC by event type, audience, or location.
If you’re logged in with your USC email address (your USC NetID), you can also add events to your personal calendar or subscribe to your favorite departments so you never miss an event.
Note: If you’ve been accepted to USC but have not yet enrolled, you won’t be able to use your USC email address to log in until your first term starts.
Using filters
Your event will appear whenever a user selects a matching filter. For example, if the event is assigned to the “Students” audience, the “University Park Campus” campus, and the “Music” event type, it will appear when users select any of those filters.
How events are featured on the homepage
There are two types of events that appear on the homepage.
Featured Events
Signature events showcase the most significant happenings around the university, such as distinguished speakers, performers, and events that reflect our institutional priorities. These appear in the featured carousel section of the homepage and are selectively curated by the calendar editor from submitted events.
Event Highlights
The events feed below Featured Events is also curated by the calendar editor and showcases some of the most engaging upcoming events.
Tip: If you want your events to be considered as a Featured Event or Event Highlight, be sure to follow our event listing best practices.
Displaying events on other websites
Departments and other websites can display USC calendar event listings on their own sites for cross-promotional purposes. See Add Event Listings to Your Site for instructions. Keep in mind, events are pulled into external sites automatically based on the filters selected.
