Event Planning Steps

 

All registered student organizations should follow the steps below in order to successfully hold events on campus. 

1. Submit the Event Request form to secure a location at least 4 weeks in advance for a large event or by Mondays at 4pm for any events the following Sunday-Saturday.
2. For events in the Union Complex, you will receive an confirmation from Conference & Event Services within 3-5 business days. For events elsewhere, you will receive confirmation from Leadership and Student Involvement within 3-5 business days.
3. Remember: you must have an email confirmation for your event to be officially registered. Until then, you cannot advertise for your event.
4. The sooner you submit forms, the better. Forms are always to be submitted by Mondays at 4 p.m. for events the following week. Special event forms must be submitted one month prior to the date of the event. Late forms are not accepted.
