Student organizations that are chartered or officially recognized by the university may reserve\u00a0most facilities without charge. Fees for rental and\/or personnel may be applicable depending on location and time of the event.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. These groups must be in good standing with the university and owe no outstanding debt from the previous semester.<\/li>\n
  2. Organizations with an outstanding debt to the university from a previous reservation will not be allowed to schedule or sponsor events in any university facility subject to these rules until the debt is paid in full.<\/li>\n
  3. Student organizations cannot reserve university facilities for an off-campus group or organization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Food\/Beverage Policy:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Student organizations may self-cater only “closed” organization activities. A closed organization function is one in which only members and their guests will be present. Self-catering refers to food that is provided by members (not purchased from an off-campus vendor).<\/li>\n
    2. The campus food service contractor must always provide alcoholic beverage service.<\/li>\n
    3. Student organizations may not self-cater for events open to the public. The contracted food service company must cater all events open to the public. This means that the campus food service contractor must provide all food and beverage service (including alcohol). The campus food service contractor will not serve donated food, beverage or alcoholic beverage.<\/li>\n
    4. For fundraising events, student organizations are allowed to give away donated non-perishable food and non-alcoholic beverage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Use of Facilities\u00a0Policy:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

      2. Student organizations using Nicholls facilities are subject to all costs of staging the event.<\/li>\n
      3. Student organizations are subject to overtime charges for any set-up or clean-up in which the custodial staff has to be assigned beyond their normal work schedule.<\/li>\n
      4. The university reserves the right to require event security and\/or University Police, at the student organization’s\u00a0expense, to monitor any function they deem necessary.\u00a0The university also reserves the right to determine the number of officers required based on the type of event, crowd expected, and university history. \u00a0In particular, events should be monitored that are:\n
          \n
        • open to the public<\/li>\n

            \n
          • A complete description and diagram are required in advance of the event.\u00a0 This should be done as soon as plans are made and no later than two weeks prior to the event.<\/li>\n
          • All decorations, props, or equipment must be removed immediately following the event unless prior approval is obtained from the Student Union Director. If not removed promptly and facility custodians are impeded from doing clean up or set up for another event or items left create a problem for the university, the Campus\u00a0Reservations Office will assess a fee appropriate for the inconvenience involved with correcting the situation.<\/li>\n
          • The university is not responsible for props, decorations, equipment and personal items, etc. used to set up, clean up, or stage an event, left unattended or not removed promptly, warranting removal or movement by university personnel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
