Getting Started
Before Completing the Application:
-
Applicants must be Authorized Signers of a recognized student organization and/or be affiliated with a University department.
-
A University Shortcode will be required for all organizations in the request. Although the Diag is free of charge, this will be used in case of damages or other approved charges.
-
If you are requesting Electricity, Amplification or any other Diag Services, fees may be applicable.
-
DO NOT assume your event has been approved until you receive a confirmation in writing.
Availability & Appropriate Use:
The Diags are available on a first-come, first-served basis up to 12 months in advance. It takes time to coordinate use of the space. The more time you allow, the better. To check current availability of specific dates please visit our availability spreadsheet. If this indicates that a specific dates is not available, don't submit a request for that date. Availability is subject to change based on pending applications. See Approval Timeline [link to step 3] for more information.
Students, staff and faculty may distribute pamphlets, flyers, etc., without obtaining a permit, as long as no equipment (i.e., tables, chairs, carts, boxes, or other objects) are placed on the property, and they do not interfere with other authorized activity on the Diags. Unauthorized or disruptive parties may result in intervention from the Department of Public Safety.
Only recognized student organizations and university departments with valid University accounts (i.e. shortcodes) are eligible to reserve the Diags. All events on the Diags must be open to all and be free of charge. No sales of any sort are allowed. All individuals interested in reserving the Diag spaces must submit the Diag Reservation Application.
Campus Impact Considerations:
When planning for events in these spaces we would like people to reflect on how they plan to impact the community. Please reflect on the following questions before planning your event:
-
Have you reflected on how the event logistics impact the campus?
-
How do you expect the event content to impact the campus?
-
How will you foster conversations that encourage learning and connections?
-
Have you thought about ways to de-escalate conversations?
-
What is your plan to support your organization members sharing content that can often be draining?
