Event Authorization

Planning an Event

The first step for any student organization event is to complete the Event Authorization and Notification Form and submit it to the Event Management Office, 3630 Memorial Union.

The Event Authorization Committee (EAC) exists to ensure that the proper guidelines are adhered to for the University and to assist you in the planning and preparation of your event. Members of the committee represent the departments of Facilities Planning & Management, Environmental Health & Safety, Department of Public Safety, Department of Residence, Student Activities Center, ISU Dining, Recreation Services, Risk Management, and Event Management.

Based on the type of event you are holding, you may or may not have to meet with EAC. All student events must be approved by the Event Management Office. If you have further questions, please call (515) 294-7226 or visit the Student Activities Center web site.
