Approval Process

 

Each semester, event organizers who wish to have their events considered for Cultural Event status must submit a request to the Cultural Events Committee. The committee is responsible for reviewing event proposals and determining whether they meet the criteria for Cultural Events and Global Learning Initiative (GLI) Events.

Performances and art exhibitions by the College of Visual and Performing Arts and its various divisions are automatically approved as Cultural Events through the Dean's Office. If your event is being sponsored by the college, please click here to submit a request. /culturalevents/test-page1.aspx

 

Submission of Event Proposals

To request Cultural Event status for your event, please complete the following steps.

Step 1.

Review the guidelines for events.

Step 2.

Find a University faculty/staff member to sponsor the event.

Step 3.

If the event will be taking place on campus, make a space request through the campus space request system (note: the space request does not need to be approved before an event proposal is submitted).

Step 4.

Submit an event proposal. To ensure timely review, event proposals should be submitted at least 4-6 weeks prior to the event.


Timeline for Review

Event proposals are reviewed by the Cultural Events Committee, which meets monthly during the fall and spring semesters.

 

Notice of Decision

Once the committee has reviewed the event proposal, the Cultural Events Coordinator will notify the event sponsor of the committee’s decision. Four decisions are possible. (1) The committee may approve the event proposal as written. (2) The committee may put its decision on hold pending submission of additional information (if the event proposal is unclear or missing information). (3) The committee may deny the event. (4) Or the committee may allow the event sponsor to revise and resubmit the event proposal, detailing the specific changes that would bring the event into compliance with the guidelines.
