Charges may be assessed and waived as indicated below. Revenues for these charges are to be applied towards maintaining and upgrading the Student Union and University Center.
Fees may not be charged to internal university departments for the use of a university facility for an internal event.
Internal events include those events which are:
Hosted or sponsored by a university department, and predominately attended by university faculty, staff, students, parents of students, prospective students, alumni, major donors, university related foundations, and others normally considered a part of the university community. This type of event has no admission fee, registration fee, or substantial financial sponsorship.
If the event does not meet these qualifiers, or if there is a charge for the event, or substantial sponsorship money is provided for the event, or if any university constituent as identified above is being compensated for the event, the event will be considered an external event and the external commercial rate or the non-profit/university department rate will be charged. Any waiver of the approved rate must be signed by the appropriate Dean or Director, then the Vice President of that unit with final approval by the Assistant Vice President of Student Engagement & Inclusiveness along with the Vice President of Adminstration & Finance.
(All requests must be submitted a minimum of 21 days prior to the event!)
Waivers are approved by your Dean/Director then the Vice President of that unit with final approval by the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Be sure to ask about fees that are not associated with your rental or waiver (if approved), such as equipment rental.
All requests must be submitted a minimum of 21 days prior to the event. This means completion and approval of the waiver form, not the reserving of the actual facility.
