Union Facilities

Examples of events held, especially in non-academic areas, are dances, parties, concerts, banquets, lectures, fundraisers, meetings, and block parties. However, some events are limited to specific areas and special regulations may apply. The following are regulations regarding events, advertising, decorations, and fundraising activities.

No more than 2 blood drives will be scheduled per semester (subject to facility availability and approval) and one per summer session. One blood drive will be allowed within an 8 week period.

Blood drives will not be scheduled during mid-terms, finals, homecoming week and at other times deemed unacceptable by the Vice President of Student Affairs or the appropriate designee.

Blood drive dates will be established and approved by the University. Blood drives are scheduled in accordance with established procedures governing student activities (See Student Organizations Manual).

Blood drives may be scheduled up to one calendar year in advance.

Seafood boils sponsored by student organizations on the Nicholls State University campus are limited to areas underneath the stadium surrounding the Century Club Room. Student organizations must follow state and local health regulations, if applicable.

Overtime charges for a seafood boil are mandatory since the University reserves the right to clean the facilities immediately following the event. Organizations or their caterers are responsible for bagging seafood shells and disposing of the refuse in the nearest garbage dumpster. An extra clean-up charge may be incurred if seafood boil debris and area are not cleaned appropriately.

Bands, loud music, or noise, which would interrupt or disturb classes, is strictly prohibited in the Quadrangle area. Exceptions must be approved by the Director of Union Services and Facilities.

Hamburger sales are limited to the hours of 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Permission to distribute literature must be obtained through the Office of Union Services and Facilities.

Each student organization is permitted one (1) BBQ fundraiser per semester. The reservation can consist of a one or two day request (in the same week) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each semester. Rainout dates can be rescheduled based upon availability.

The University is not responsible for items stored in the facilities without prior approval or without the appropriate security measures taken.

General regulations apply to these and all other events.
