Solicitation Of Funds By Student Organizations

(1) As it pertains to student organizations, “solicitation” is defined as the seeking of funds or support by a registered student organization from sources other than its members including the procurement of supplies, and other forms of support, and the selling and distribution of items, materials or products and services. (2) Registered student organizations may be authorized to solicit on campus as long as such solicitation is consistent with the aims of the organization and is not for the personal benefit of members. In interpreting the aims or purposes of the registered student organization, the statement in its constitution will be followed. (3) Requests for approval of any form of solicitation must be made in writing to the Office of the Chief Student Affairs Officer not later than seven business days preceding the date of the proposed date of the activity. Special forms for making requests are provided in the Office of the Chief Student Affairs Officer. Following content approval by the Office of the Chief Student Affairs Officer, the requesting organization must make appropriate arrangements and scheduling with the administrative office of the facility to be used. Content approval for the project is not a guarantee of the availability of the space. The Office of the Chief Student Affairs Officer will assist the organization in scheduling and coordinating outdoor space with the appropriate Facilities Management Office. Ordinarily, the academic buildings and the non-public areas of the Residence Halls will not be used for purposes of solicitation.
