Student Center Exhibitor Policy

The Office of the Student Center and Leadership Activities abides by the following guidelines in managing exhibits in the UIW Student Center:

Approval Requirements

• All exhibits must be consistent with the University mission and policies.
• Approval is at the discretion of the Director of the Student Center and Leadership Activities.  Some businesses have an exclusive agreement with the University to market on campus, which excludes other similar businesses.
• Forty-eight (48) hours notice is required for approvals.  Acceptable exhibits will be approved as time and space allow.
• Vendor Table Information must be completed and returned before table will be reserved.

Fees

An individual or group that is exhibiting must pay the specified fee or be sponsored by a registered student organization.  A student organization may use a vendor for a fundraising venture by making all such arrangements directly with the vendor.  The student group must also submit a completed Activity Approval Form to Campus Life.

*Recruitment exhibits must be arranged through Career Services, 829-3931.

• No hawking or calling out is allowed anywhere on campus.
• Any activity which conflicts with the agreed-upon purpose of the exhibit, the rules of exhibiting, or the rules of the Student Center will be grounds for removal from the UIW campus.
