Registered Student Organizations and other non-departmental groups must adhere to the campusʼ Policy on Major Events Hosted by Non-Departmental Users, which governs gatherings that meet Major Event criteria. Complying with this "Major Events Policy" includes obtaining written permission from the campus to host Major Events (please see the Event Services page for more information).
Major Events Criteria
Any event or gathering that has one or more of the following criteria:
- 300 or more people are expected to attend;
- Authorized campus officials determine the event is likely to significantly affect campus safety and security (based on assessment from the UCPD) or significantly affect campus services other than those provided by the administrative unit making the event facility available (including kiosk guards, service roads, or parking);
- Authorized campus officials determine the event has a substantial likelihood of interfering with campus functions or activities other than the functions and activities of the administrative unit making the event facility available;
- The event is a dance as defined by this policy (as distinguished from a performance during which the performers are dancing) or a concert featuring amplified sound, at which a majority of the audience is not seated;
- Alcohol is intended to be served, unless the event is a memorial service reception attended by fewer than 300 people or is an event at the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Botanical Garden, Blake House, or Anthony Hall; or
- Outdoor amplified sound is requested.
