Student Organization Event Authorization is the process completed prior to hosting an event on or off campus. This is a requirement for all student organizations that was set in place to work toward making sure events run smoothly. Events should not be advertised until official approval has been received. Coordination of activities and management of space is essential with the end goal being a safe and successful event.
Events that are not open to the public (i.e. weekly organizational meetings or small recognition ceremonies for group members) do not have to be authorized. However for events that are required to be authorized, it is recommended for organizations hosting large events to submit an application 30-60 days prior to the date of the event. Small events should be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the date of the event.
Failure to have your organization’s event authorized could result in a loss of privileges and potential loss of recognition. If you are unsure about whether or not your event needs to be authorized, email Event Authorization.
