  • Written signature of clearance from venue owned areas, email accepted
  • All photos of requested areas & location description.

Once all the required information has been submitted, Campus Events Office signs off and registers the event on to IFIS for certification.  Student then hand carries all original documents to the University Police Department to sign off for any safety concerns.
