Schedule and cancel Social Events with a program on both the web and mobile app.
1. Access the Calendar
| Note: Scheduling a Social Event does not take the place of scheduling an interview. Both can be scheduled at the same time. You can sign up for as many Social Events as you would like for any given program. Be sure to check the event descriptions, as a program may offer more than one type of Social Event. |
On Web
- Log in to Thalamus
- When you log in, you'll be directed to your dashboard
- Select Calendar from the navigation menu
- Use the left and right arrow buttons at the top of the calendar to move between months
On Mobile
- Open the Thalamus mobile app and log in
- Tap Calendar from the bottom navigation menu
- Move between months to select a date
| Note: Calendar updates automatically sync between the web and mobile app, so your scheduled events appear in both places. |
2. Filter the Calendar
Filters help you narrow down the events shown on your calendar. Depending on your activity, you can filter by:
- Event status — Open, Scheduled, Waitlisted, Waitlist Available, and Not Available
- Event type — Interviews (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Interview), Social Events, and Personal Events
- Location — Virtual, In-Person, Hybrid, and Unspecified
Select or deselect filters to update the events displayed. To focus only on Social Events, deselect the other event types and keep Social Events selected.
| Important: Calendar filters remain active between sessions. If a Social Event does not appear, review your filters and clear any active ones to see all available opportunities. |
3. Schedule a Social Event
- On the Calendar, locate the Social Event you'd like to attend
- Social Events are labeled and can be isolated using the Social Events event type filter
- Select the Social Event session
- A window will open where you can view the time and date, the number of open positions, and the option to View Program
- Select Confirm Social Event
- Once confirmed, the Social Event session will have a blue outline with a checkmark, indicating you're scheduled for that day
- Your Scheduled Social Event will update to reflect the new date on the dashboard
If you are already scheduled for a Social Event with the same program, signing up for a new one will ask whether you'd like to cancel the previously scheduled event and switch to this one, or keep and attend both.
| Note: If a Social Event overlaps with another scheduled event, the calendar will display a Scheduling conflict indicator so you can adjust if needed. |
4. Export a Social Event
You can export a confirmed Social Event to iCal, Google, or Outlook calendars. Select the Social Event session in the Thalamus calendar, then select the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner to find the Export to calendar link.
5. Cancel a Social Event
- Select the Social Event session in the calendar. A window will open with the options to Email program or Cancel Social Event.
- Select Cancel Social Event. A window will open asking you to confirm your decision.
-
Confirm to cancel. As soon as you cancel, your spot becomes open to any other applicant, so be sure before taking this step.
| Note: To attend a different Social Event, sign up for the new event from the Calendar after canceling. Canceling a Social Event does not automatically move you to another date. |
