About Our Website
New Features (c. 2019)
- Our website uses WordPress, which is known for its ease of use and versatility.
Our site syndicates data to make it as efficient and accurate as possible.�� For example:- The Event Calendar will be used to house all events and also to promote these events at the department level.
- The electronic catalog will enable us to display curricular and course information within department sites.
- Our site has a responsive design, which will allow the content to adapt to different screen sizes, including tablet and mobile.�� (Please bear with us as we tweak certain views to correct known issues.)
Help for Department Editors/Suggestions
If I need help or have a question answered, who do I contact and how long should it take to get a response?
For the time being all editing is being done in the Web department.�� All editing requests should be sent to web@saintpeters.edu.��We aim to reply to all messages in the same business day. Editing requests generally take 2-5 days depending on the volume of requests we are receiving.
If I have suggestions for the website, who do I send these to?
web@saintpeters.edu.
Events & Room Reservations
Where is the master calendar?
- The master list of events is found at
- On the homepage there are also buttons to ���See all Events��� or ���Book an Event.���
- In addition, on the bottom of our site we have a shortcut under ���University Life��� for ���Events at Saint Peter���s.���
Although internally we may refer to it as the ���master calendar��� this term isn���t used much by students who are simply looking for events. (Not to mention, a master calendar and master���s degree programs can be somewhat confusing for high school students and search engines.)
How can I add an event to the Event Calendar/ my department���s website?
Our new website is more efficient when it comes to event promotion.�� When adding an event to the Event calendar you may assign it to also appear on your department/organization���s website by selecting it on the Event Categorization drop-down menu. This also allows you to Select Multiple if the event is relevant to multiple groups in the same department or co-sponsored by many groups.�� (eg. The Society of Accounting Students Speaker series could logically be found on the student organization���s site as well as the Accountancy department.)
How does the new event system work?
It is found at /book-an-event/
- Watch the instructional video. It���s important!
- Login with your network login to see the form.�� Only Saint Peter’s students, faculty, and staff may use the online request system.�� (Alumni and guests may call room reservations at 201-761-7414.)
- When you use the form to search for rooms it will not offer you rooms which are already reserved.
- Once you submit your request you will receive an automated email ���confirmation of your request��� which summarizes your request and gives you a link you may use to withdraw your request at any time.�� This is automated (although it appears to be from Michele Lacey.)
- Next, the room manager receives your request and must approve or deny your request. (They must check the old system to honor earlier requests.�� Over time this will lessen.).�� You will receive an email to notify you of the decision.
- Lastly, the calendar manager will get a request to approve your event for the categories you have requested.�� This is usually handled by a webmaster who is checking to ensure that your department calendar doesn���t get bombarded with unrelated events.�� When the category is approved you will get a third email.
What can I do with the new event system?
You may search for a room, reserve a room, choose a basic maintenance layout, and promote the event on the Saint Peter���s event calendar.�� (It does not handle A/V requests, catering, etc. )
Can I reserve a room without adding it to the calendar?
Absolutely.�� The last question on the request form asks if you want it to appear on the calendar.
I���m having trouble getting a room.�� Who can I contact?
- Can���t get past the login? Please contact the Service Desk��(201-761-7800 servicedesk@saintpeters.edu). You may need to .
- If you watched the video but still need help using the form please contact Chris Gonzalez (201-761-7943 ��cgonzalez5@saintpeters.edu).
- If the room you searched for does not show up it is likely not available for that date/time.
- If you���re not sure if you already reserved the room for that date/time please check with the room manager (usually roomreservations@saintpeters.edu or 201-761-7430).
I submitted a request but I need to change something.
Simply find the confirmation email and use the withdraw link to cancel your earlier request.�� Then resubmit the form with the new information.
Academic Catalogs
The curriculum and course information within each department comes from the digital course catalog.�� The Academic Dean manages the content of the Undergraduate Catalog.
