Activity Forms and Guidelines

Policy, Guidelines, and Procedures for Sponsorships

The policy, guidelines, and procedures aim to provide guidance to all academic and non-academic units including student groups or organizations on the sponsorship of events, programs, publications or other activities by non-university entities.

Sponsorship of unit activities, programs or events by non-university entities can, when conducted in an appropriate manner, be beneficial to the sponsored unit as well as to the sponsoring entity.  However, it is also necessary to recognize that the University is a private institution and that its reputation and image must be protected, and that it must not serve to unduly advance the interests of one entity or organization over another.

These guidelines also hope to cover the acknowledgement of sponsorships and acceptance of gift/s by university units, student groups or organizations, and individuals (faculty, staff, and students). University resources are to be used in support of the educational, research, and social involvement missions of the University and must not be used for non-mission related purposes or for private gain. These guidelines notwithstanding, the University reserves the right of final determination on the appropriateness of sponsorships.
