How to promote your community update or event

Do you have something you'd like to share with the Emily Carr community? Start by submitting the details using the links below.

Once approved, (typically within 1-2 business days), your post makes its way into our newsletters and social media feeds. It may receive a slide on our digital signage or be featured on the homepage of the website.

Items submitted by Fridays end of day will be automatically included in the all-university email digests sent to ECU inboxes: Events Digest on Tuesdays; Community Updates Digest on Wednesdays; News and Notices Digests on Thursdays.

Community Guidelines

Standards of conduct outlined in university policies extend to online conduct. Submissions that contravene university policies will be removed, and the user may be banned from posting without notice.

Other reasons for submission removal include:

  • Personal attacks on the author, subject, or person(s)
  • Hateful speech
  • Promotion of drug/alcohol use. (Alcohol use is occasionally permitted at events only with prior written authorization and proof of Serving it Right certificate and a Special Occasion License. More details are available here.)
  • Commercial purposes
  • Extreme tangent from the topic
  • Spam (posting multiple times)

Here's what you can submit:

Events

We share events that are hosted by, or affiliated with ECU. Once your event submission has been approved and published, it'll appear on our Events page, be included in an email digest and may be featured on other Communications + Marketing channels.

Community Updates

Units can share news and resources for the ECU community. Once your Community Update has been approved and published, it'll appear on our Community Updates page and on the Community Updates feed on your unit's ecuad.ca homepage, be included in an email digest, and may be featured on other Communications + Marketing channels.

Notices

If you have something to sell or rent, have lost or found something, or have any other short "classified ad" item to share, submit a Notice! Once approved and published, it'll appear on our Notice Board page.

Submit your Notice here.
