Resources and Opportunities
Make Sure to Authorize Your Next Event
If you are planning an event, and if that event includes guests, members of other organizations, is open to the Iowa State Community, or individuals from other universities, you need to have your event authorized. Review the event authorization system training in the student organization database. Once you pass the quiz then email eventauthorization@iastate.edu to be added to the system. Fill out an Online Event Authorization Form and submit it online at least ten class days prior to the date of the event. Your event may require more time to be authorized depending on the details of your program, so please start this process as soon as you begin planning.
Have other questions? Check out the Event Authorization FAQ page first, and if you have additional questions, please email eventauthorization@iastate.edu.
