Event Planning

Reserving spaces and not using them takes away from other organizations who may also want to use the same space, therefore organizations must provide notice of cancellation to Student Engagement Office at least 48 hours in advance. Once an event has been canceled it cannot be reinstated without rescheduling. Organizations must resubmit an event request and follow the proper protocol to host an event on campus.

Recognized student organizations may use university-owned meeting rooms without charge as long as the usage does not conflict with regular university business or activities. All use of space on campus must be coordinated through EMS scheduling system.See steps to set up an event above in the event planning process. 

The Office of University Counsel provides comprehensive legal services to university constituents at the Anschutz Medical Campus and Denver Campus to support their campus missions. The legal issues confronting the campuses are complex and diverse and are dictated by the dynamic environment of an academic health sciences center and an urban comprehensive undergraduate and graduate research university. For more information on the Office of University Counsel, please visit the University of Colorado System website.Main: (303) 724-8954

If you wish to rent equipment from the office of student engagement, please fill out the equipment request form located via our website. Any equipment that is damaged or lost will be replaced by the organization that had damaged or lost it. The club representative will sign a contract when they pick up the supplies. The form must be completed 1 week in advance.

The organization hosting the event/activity is responsible for the behavior of any outside guests, including Alumni. Be mindful that most university buildings operate on a card-access system which will not allow persons to enter the building unless they are part of the CU Anschutz community. Therefore, a member from the organization is required to be stationed at the event/activity entrance to assist with admittance into the building for the event/activity. Groups may be required to pay for an arranged security detail in which CU Anschutz security officers are monitoring all event entrances. Request for security in the EMS reservation. All guests must leave campus facilities immediately upon the conclusion of the event.

It is important for student organizations to meet with their Responsible Party if they are planning an event that will be hosted off-campus to ensure the organization is aware of relevant policies and recommended risk reductions practices. Organizations are expected to act in accordance with university policies and state laws when hosting events and activities off campus, regardless if they are formal or informal in nature.

Recognized Student Organizations that want to host a political debate, bring a political candidate to campus, or participate and/or host any political event are encouraged to work with the Office of Student Engagement. University funds cannot support a political event.
