Event Access Note

If you select Group members only, ensure all attendees are current group members. Otherwise, some students may not be able to register or sign required waivers.

For the second Who can see option, selecting Everyone means that anyone with the event link can view the page without logging in, including non-Cornell viewers.

Important: Events with Non-Cornell Attendees

Selecting Everyone may allow non-Cornell guests to view the event page, but non-Cornell attendees may not be able to register, be added as attendees, or complete Cornell login-based forms through CampusGroups.

If your event includes non-Cornell participants, use the separate non-Cornell participant form listed in the waiver section below.
