How can I reach out to all students?
CampusBuzz is a weekly email newsletter on the latest happenings inside and outside of campus. The content of the e-newsletter is generated automatically from NTU Event Calendar on a weekly basis. All NTU students and NIE trainee teachers are pre-subscribed to this e-newsletter. Schools, offices and student organisations are strongly encouraged to make use of Campus Buzz to publicise their events or activities to students.
Appointed school or office administrators and authorised student club officials with NTU-issued role-based accounts can upload event details on their own in the NTU Event Calendar via the NTU Event Calendar Admin Module. The details will then be automatically compiled into Campus Buzz on a weekly basis. Campus Buzz is sent out by Student Affairs Office every Thursday or Friday evening to notify students of events happening in the following week as well as upcoming events for the next one month. Hence, publicity information should be uploaded latest by every Wednesday. For enquiries, please contact sao-fa@ntu.edu.sg.

How can I apply for right to use NTU Event Calendar Admin Module?
For student clubs, access to NTU Event Calendar Admin Module is only granted to NTU-issued role-based accounts (eg. ClubXYZ-Secretary@ntu.edu.sg). Student clubs who do not have any NTU-issued role-based email account need to first apply online via StudentLink. NTU-issued role-based email accounts are available in blocks of 20 accounts at $13.90/block/year. For account application details, please check here. Note that each club can have only one NTU-issued role-based account granted to access NTU Event Calendar Admin Module for accountability reasons. The President of student club may apply online from StudentLink -> IT Services -> Student Club Website and Email Accounts Application. [Note: Student clubs whose Presidents are NIE students (who cannot access StudentLink) need to apply using this PDF form.]
Staff appointed by the school or office to publish events can apply for their personal accounts to be granted access to NTU Event Calendar Admin Module via the online application form in StaffLink -> Resource Request -> IT Services -> Email/Network/Web Account -> Apply for Staff Computer Account. In the form details, choose the option 'Others' and specify that you wish to be granted access to eNewsReader Module. Your application should be routed to your supervisor for approval. Schools and offices are strongly encouraged to use role-based accounts for event publicity. Role-based accounts enable flexibility and ease of change in personnel or job responsibilities.
