Event Scheduling

Student Leadership & Development utilizes the Event Planning Process to evaluate, approve, and support large-scale student events.

Large-scale events may be defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria:

• Multi-day/Multi-facility
• Alcohol will be served
• Significant number of off-campus guests
• Over 300 guests
• Notable Guest Speaker/Performer
• Dance or Concert
• Display

To complete the Event Planning Process (if instructed to do so):

1. Schedule an Event Planning Meeting with Student Leadership & Development at least three weeks prior to the event. Meetings take place every Wednesday at 2pm.
2. Meet with staff from across campus to finalize decisions regarding the event at the Event Planning Meeting. Those in attendance at the Event Planning Meeting may include representatives from Student Leadership & Development, the event venue, Public Safety, Conference and Event Services, Sodexo Campus Services, the Student Housing Office, Off Campus Student Life, Facilities Management, the OneCard Office, and the sponsoring organization's Advisor.
3. At the completion of the event, an evaluation meeting may be conducted with the organization.

Once approved, Event Planning Meeting Forms are a contract between the university and the sponsoring organization. Any changes to the Event Planning Meeting Forms must be discussed with and approved by Student Leadership & Development.

In the event that the organization does not adhere to University policies or the approved Event Planning Meeting Form, the organization may be prohibited from planning events for a specified amount of time determined by Student Leadership & Development.
