A. Purpose

As a distinguished Jesuit University located in Denver, Colorado, Regis University hosts a range of events, for both our internal and external community. To best serve others and to honor the resources it takes to create a quality event, the University Events Policy delineates types of events, fiscal responsibilities, support request protocols, and requestor responsibilities for events at Regis University.

B. Scope

This policy is strictly for events and activities which take place at the Lowell Campus of Regis University. For event policies and procedures specific to extension campuses, please refer to Addendum B; Addendum B is written in addition to, not in lieu of, existing student and university policies. All Regis University events located on the Lowell Campus must be scheduled through the Office of Event Services and must be in keeping with the mission of Regis University. The Office of Event Services may be reached via email at events@regis.edu or by phone at 303.964.5138.

Regis University Internal Events
Internally, Regis University operates through a range of events that allow faculty, staff, and students to connect with one another, grow in their missions, and contribute to the Regis University community. These include all events that arise during the traditional course of the year.

Event is planned, managed, funded via an established university budget, and promoted (from concept to execution) exclusively by a student organization or University department.
Event curriculum, content, and logistics are fully determined by a department or division of the University.

External Events

Frequently, outside groups wish to use University facilities for a meeting, conference, or event. The University allows qualified outside groups, particularly community and neighborhood groups, to make use of the meeting resources at Regis University. It is beneficial to the University to make our facilities available to some groups for appropriate reasons, but it is important for outside groups to go through the proper channels when requesting space on campus.

There are legal, risk management, and financial considerations when the University opens its doors to an outside group. It is important that the University knows who is using our facilities, who is on campus, and the purpose of the meeting or event. Therefore, if a University department wishes to invite an external group to use campus meeting facilities, or if a student or employee is asked by an outside group to book space for them on campus, it is important to refer them to the Office of Event Services. The Office of Event Services will review the request, set up all necessary paperwork, collect proof of liability insurance, and be the centralized location for any applicable billing.

All room rates and fees may apply. External Events may generate revenue, so they must be net positive contributors to the University, which means that revenues exceed all related expenses. Unless a request has been made to the University Budget Committee and has advanced approval secured, the University will not subsidize these types of events. Such events are scheduled through the Office of Events Services. If agreed upon by both Regis University and the Private Event Requestor, these events may be posted on the Regis University Events Calendar.

The Requesting Organization is primarily responsible for determining the content, agenda, and logistical arrangements for the event.
The Requesting Organization is primarily responsible for all rental and operational costs for the event; all rentals for the event must be secured through Physical Plant in conjunction with the Office of Event Services.
The Requesting Organization is responsible providing a Certificate of Liability Insurance which meets the University’s standards.
The program must be consistent with the mission of the University.
All charges and fees are applicable.
Event is located on the Regis University Lowell Campus grounds.
Event is communicated through the Office of Event Services at the Regis Events Management (REM) meeting.

The following are the benefits of being classified as a Regis University External Event:

Access to Regis University space at affordable rates and fees.
Collaboration with the Office of Event Services to assure all event support is complete.

The following examples are classified as Regis University External Events:

Regis coaches’ athletic camps
Any external group’s camp, conference, or event
Private events scheduled by faculty, staff, students or alumni for personal purposes (e.g. outside ventures, weddings, etc.)

D. Policy

Regis University Events Management and Support

The Office of Events Services will collaborate with the requesting department/entity to provide event support. When requested by the sponsoring department or Events Services Office, other departments (i.e. Physical Plant, Information Technology Services, Media Services, etc.) may assist. When the scope of the event exceeds the capacity of support staff resources or when timelines and procedures are not followed, the sponsoring department/entity may be responsible for outsourced contracted labor.

The Requesting Department must have a representative attend the Regis Events Management (REM) meeting a minimum of four weeks prior to the event to assure coordination of support services. These services may include outside rentals, audio/visual needs, custodial services, shuttle driving, or reserved parking. The Office of Event Services may present at REM on behalf of External Events. REM meetings may include representatives from ITS, Media Services, Catering, Physical Plant, Athletics, Campus Safety, Event Services, Auxiliary and Business Services, and other departments or individuals as appropriate.

Regis University Events Policies

Accessing Rooms

Rooms may be accessed at the scheduled time. If additional set-up or take-down time is required, that time should be scheduled when booking a reservation.

Alcohol

Alcohol may be served in conference and classroom spaces, when in compliance with University policies and with state and federal laws. All events where alcohol will be served with more than 30 people in attendance must be presented at the Regis Events Management (REM) meeting at least four weeks in advance. Any event that includes the use of alcohol and that involves students must be presented at Regis Events Management (REM) meeting at least four weeks in advance with advisor/staff present; such events should also refer to related policies in the Regis University Student Handbook.

Alcohol may not be sold on campus with the exception of Walker’s Pub, which sells 3/2 beer; this includes using ticket sales and similar systems for guests to purchase alcohol. If events necessitate alcohol sales, then a permit must be secured through the City and County of Denver; that event must also be presented at REM at least 30 days in advance.

Any event which serves alcohol may be required to have outside security, which would be based on number of people anticipated and the amount and type of alcohol being served or sold. The cost of such security will be passed on to the Requesting Department or Organization.

Disability accommodations may require a minimum of two weeks' prior notice to the Office of Event Services.

Athletic Fields and Spaces

Athletic fields and spaces are managed by the Office of Athletics during the traditional academic year. During the summer, the Office of Event Services oversees the reservations for these locations. Floor covering, power panel, and other rentals and related charges may be incurred to maintain the integrity of the facility. Contracted cleaning service charges incurred as a result of protective coverings on the Arena or Ranger Dome floors will be billed to the Requesting Department or Organization.

Please see the Event Procedures in Appendix F for more information about using specialty rooms and spaces.

Cancellation

In order to accommodate as many requests for events as possible, we must ask all organizations to honor their reservations. While spaces should be released and cancelled as soon as possible, all cancellations must occur at least two weeks in advance.

Despite location, if an event has twenty people or fewer or if an event is a potluck, it is not required to use Bon Appetit. For potlucks, deli/catering trays, restaurant-ordered meals, etc. may not be used.

If the event is not required to use Bon Appetit, then outside food and drinks may be brought in. The Requestor is responsible for making sure that all food trash is removed and placed in outside dumpsters. If using an outside caterer for an event with 100 guests or more, then the caterer is responsible for removing all food trash from the Lowell Campus.

Also, see “Alcohol” for information about events involving alcohol consumption.

Invitations to speakers addressing the University community must be cleared with the President’s Office by the inviting party prior to the commitment. Special care will be taken to vet speakers who have taken public positions in conflict with fundamental moral principles of the Catholic Church. Such invitations may be considered by the President or his designees under the following criteria:

If the event format provides for the Catholic position to be presented fairly and accurately; or
If his/her topic is different from the area where his/her views are in conflict with Catholic Church teachings.

Chapel

The St. John Francis Regis, SJ Chapel may only be reserved for events approved by University Ministry. The Chapel is designated for events that are explicitly spiritual in nature. In order to protect the spiritual integrity of our chapel, each event request will be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the size, scope, and mission of the event are suitable for the space.

See the Event Procedures in Appendix F for more information about reserving specialty rooms.

Collection Drives

All collection drives of any type should request authorization from the Regis Events Meeting (REM) at least four weeks in advance of the starting day of the drive. ollection drives may not compete with one another or with other major University projects. The specific location for the collection receptacles also requires authorization. Collection drives may not be longer than two (2) weeks, and only one collection drive can occur at a time. Collection boxes should be covered with colored paper (like bulletin board paper or wrapping paper) to make them aesthetically pleasing. Collection boxes should be regularly emptied so the contents do not spill out into the hallway or lobby. All collection boxes and their contents must be removed from campus on the final day of the collection.

See the Event Procedures in Appendix F for more information about presenting at REM.

Custodial Services and Damages

Events requiring significant additional attention will be arranged by the Office of Event Services or Physical Plant at the expense of the event’s Requesting Department. For example, a large event may require additional attention to restrooms.

The Requesting Department takes all responsibility for charges, fees, and any damage resulting from any member of the organization or from anyone attending the event. The organization will be assessed the full replacement cost for any damaged furniture or equipment.

All events, regardless of category, may result in charges to the Requesting Department for equipment rentals, contracted services, infrastructure alterations, replacement, or repair of damage to property resulting from that event.

Decorations

Please coordinate with Bon Appetit if catering for their centerpiece options and prices, if Bon Appetit is also catering the event. For all events, decorations may be removed or altered at the discretion of the University. All decorations must be removed immediately following any event.

Marketing and Communication

It is expected that the Requesting Department will plan its marketing accordingly to make sure that events are well-attended and well-run, regardless of the event size. Doing so establishes good stewardship of University time and resources.

Appendix F - Event Procedures

Event Services Procedures should be used in conjunction with the Regis University Event Policies. The following is an outline for internal events. These are to be used to guide requesting departments through the preparation and facilitation of their events.

Please contact the Office of Event Services (303.458.4158 or events@regis.edu) with any questions about the content, policies, or forms references herein.

25Live

25Live is the computer program that is used for scheduling spaces throughout Regis University. All trained users may access the Regis 25Live portal and calendar at this link: https://25live.collegenet.com/regis/#home_my25live/ 25Live allows for a user to view rooms that are available, look at conflicting events, and submit a room request. Room requests should be submitted at least two business days in advance. Classroom reservations will be assigned approximately three to five weeks before the start of each semester, always based upon academic scheduling, which takes priority in placements.

How to Schedule

All room requests should be submitted through 25Live. Scheduling a room in 25Live requires a log-in name and password. When creating an event, the Requestor will have an opportunity to specify many details. Below are a few notes about what a Requestor should consider when booking an event.

Event Title:

The name of an event should be as specific as possible (i.e. not “Meeting”). A specific name allows for clarity when dealing with many reservations with similar names. It may also assist those who are directing guests to the correct location.

Time:

The event time is when the actual event is taking place. This allows us to direct people to the event at the proper time.Also, it suggests when guests will arrive and the room will be occupied. If additional set-up is needed for catering, for a specific room set-up, or for your staff to prepare items in the space, then please schedule the appropriate amount of time. If you are uncertain of how much time another office (Catering, ITS, Event Services, etc.) may need to set up, please check with that office. It may vary based on their staffing availability or other events that day. Similarly, it is important to schedule any necessary take-down time following the event. The time of day for the event will be important to consider. For example, an evening event in the Mountain View Room with bleacher set-up may need a couple hours during the business day to reset the room. Because of that, a 9a.m. meeting may not be possible, and room should be booked for “take-down” accordingly.

Resources:

This section is a great way to track extra needs an event may have. However, this should only be for additional requests beyond what comes standard in the room. For example, “wifi” and “tables” come standard in most event spaces on campus. So, if those are already in the space, they do not need to be requested as an added Resource.

Event Description:

Please provide a basic description of the event. However, if submitting a Calendar Event, please see the “Events Calendar” section below.

Additional Scheduling Support

Scheduling support is available through the Office of Event Services (303.964.5138). The Office of Event Services approves room assignments for all events in conference and classroom spaces.

The Office of Event Services is available when a Requestor is having difficulties with 25Live or for more complicated reservations, such as booking many rooms for a multi-day conference. For such questions, please contact them at events@regis.edu. Traditional requests, such as those for a recurring meeting or for a single program, should be reserved through 25Live.

If seeking scheduling support for a specialized space, please see the “Specialized Space” section below.

Events Calendar

Events should be posted to the Regis University Events Calendar (regis.edu/events) when the event is being advertised to the student, faculty/staff, or surrounding community. It is also advised to post events to the Events Calendar when guests will be coming to campus for the event; posting to the calendar also allows others to have information to assist guests.

To post to the Events Calendar, select on the “Calendar Event” option when first selecting meeting type. Please note that it is important to categorize an event as a “Calendar Event” at the beginning of the request process.

Then, make sure that your Event Description includes information about the event, the sponsoring organization (if applicable), who is invited, and a contact person and contact information for questions.

Outdoor Events

While they may not be classrooms or traditional conference spaces, outdoor spaces are also in 25Live and must be reserved through the same process. Please contact the Office of Event Services for space codes and assistance for booking. These events should be presented at the Regis Events Management (REM) meeting at least four weeks in advance so that proper approval and accommodations may be made.

25Live Training

25Live is the scheduling program for Regis University. 25Live training is recommended for all faculty and staff who would like to request rooms on a regular basis. Some departments may have a designated user for the staff and faculty within that department. Student work studies may be trained on a limited basis and when directly supervised by a 25Live user. Training may be requested by contacting the Office of Event Services (events@regis.edu) or the Office of Auxiliary and Business Services. Training typically takes 30-45 minutes, and refresher trainings are available, too.

25Live Tips and Reminders

Please reference the 25Live training guide for steps in using 25Live. It is important to remember that Mozilla Firefox is the recommended internet browser for 25Live. When booking multiple dates in a single booking, the “Ad Hoc” option is recommended. Please remember that an event is not considered to be confirmed until you have received a completed confirmation. Also, each year must be reserved in its own booking; this means that a weekly meeting for a single academic year will require two requests and receive two confirmation emails.

Audio Visual

Standard Audio Visual Set-up

Standard classroom equipment includes a projector, a laptop computer, a plug-in for a laptop computer*, and standard classroom speakers. Dry-erase boards and markers are also provided in rooms with standard set-up.

Telephones also come standard in each room; when dialing an outside number, first press nine (9) and then the 10-digit local phone number. Most classroom phones are available to call for assistance, and they are not necessarily designated for conference calls.

Conference rooms may have the same items as a classroom*, but please confirm when making a reservation if particular Audio Visual (AV) equipment is needed.

If requesting on-site assistance or special services (such as live streaming), please see the information about contacting Information Technology Services (ITS) below.

*Standard connection cables for laptops are provided. Macintosh users must provide their own adapters to connect to the room’s AV system.

Sponsored User Access Accounts

For specific events and sponsored guests, a log-in user ID and password may be requested so that they may access Regis computers and wireless internet while on campus. To apply for an individual or departmental sponsored Email account, or to request new or modified access for Colleague, go to the ITS RegisNET Account Access Request page on INsite (you will need your RegisNET account and password to login). Allow three business days to set up your Sponsored User Account.

Submitting Requests

The Information Technology Services (ITS) department provides Regis University students, faculty and staff with technology guidance, training and support.

Audio Visual requests and questions are handled through Information Technical Services (ITS). The requesting department may submit a ticket by calling ITS at 303.964.4050 or by emailing ITS at ITS@Regis.edu.

Depending on request and location, some requests may be referred to Media Services at Dayton Memorial Library.

Display Boards

Display Boards measure 22” by 28” and resemble the one pictured to the right. Board frames snap into place, so that signs may be placed behind the plastic covers. There are two sides to each Display Board. Display Boards are weighted and have wheels to help with movement.

Consistent with University Event policies, all requests for Display Board usage must be approved by the Office of Event Services, with a maximum of 4 Display Boards allowed to be distributed per event. During high-traffic dates, fewer boards may be available. Any groups that write on the plastic or otherwise damage the Display Boards may be held responsible for purchasing a new, replacement board.

Directional Boards versus Promotional Board

Directional Boards are to assist with directing and welcoming guests to an event location. All signage should be approved by the supervising staff person. Requestors are encouraged to work with the Copy and Print Center to created printed signs. Any sponsored events should include the logo/brand of the sponsoring group or department. Promotional Boards are for groups that are promoting Regis-sponsored events. All signs must be approved, stamped, and dated by the Office of Event Services before being placed on Display Boards. Promotional boards are placed from 9:30a.m.-4p.m., weather permitting.

Checking out Display Boards

Depending on location, the Office of Event Services will typically deliver and remove Display Boards. If needed (due to staffing, timing, and weather), Display Board requestors may be asked to pick up and drop off all Display Boards. Display Boards may be set up within 12 hours of the event or start time, and they should be returned within 24 hours of the event’s close. If Display Boards are not returned 24 hours after the event a $50.00 fee will be charged back to the sponsoring department.

In the event that assistance is needed, Event Services and Student Activities will assist in placing and returning Display Boards. Assistance with Display Boards must be requested at least five business days before the event.

Approved Locations

Display Boards are only to be placed in the approved designated areas noted on the Regis Display Board Map. Only the Event Services “Event Parking” signs may be placed at the parking lot entrances. Display Boards from the Office of Event Services are only available for locations at the Lowell Campus.

Emergency and Safety

High-risk Events

Due to size, activities, or other features, an event maybe considered to have high-risk elements. When hosting about a high-risk event, significant advance notice must be provided to the Office of Event Services. Event Services will collaborate with colleagues in Risk Management and the Regis Events Management team to advise the Requesting Department in necessary steps.

Large Events

When facilitating an event with more than 50 guests, please contact the Office of Event Services (events@regis.edu or 303.458.4158) to discuss necessary procedures. Facilities and staffing must be appropriate to the number of guests and the specific activities in the event.

Fire, Emergency, and Other Safety Matters

All students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to sign up for the RU Alert Notification System via Regis.edu/RUAlert. Event hosts should familiarize themselves with all relevant protocols and information in the Regis University Emergency Management Plan. All are also encouraged to have a print-out of the Emergency Preparedness Guide or to have access to the “In Case of Crisis—Education App” that is described in the guide.

Safety and Crowd Control

The Regis Events Management (REM) committee has the authority to determine security needs for a particular event. Campus Safety and Risk Management will also review events as needed to assess the safety and risk. If there is reason to believe that the presentation or event on University premises may pose safety issues, it may be postponed for an appropriate period so that security arrangements can be developed.

Additional Support

At times, an event may necessitate the presence of officers from Campus Safety and/or from the Denver Police Department. When such support is required, the costs and arrangements of the additional staffing are the responsibility of the Requesting Department.

Food and Beverage

Set-Up and Clean-Up

If you need tables for your food and beverages at your event, please coordinate with the Office of Event Services upon booking the space. Tables do not come with linens, but linens may be ordered through our university food service provider by the Requesting Department.

If the event is not required to use the University’s recognized food service provider, then outside food and beverages may be brought into the space. The Requestor is responsible for making sure that all food trash is removed and placed in outside dumpsters. If using an outside caterer for an event with 100 guests or more, then the caterer is responsible for removing all food trash from the Lowell Campus.

The Recital Hall has a strict “No food or drink” policy; it is the sole responsibility of the Requesting Department to make sure that this policy is followed. The Requesting Department may be responsible for any charges assessed for clean-up following an event, including those resulting from food and beverages that are served.

Bon Appetit Food Services

Bon Appetit is the recognized food service provider for Regis University. To reserve your catering with Bon Appetit, please view the online catering menu here: http://regis.cafebonappetit.com/. Contact Bon Appetit Catering Services at Catering@regis.edu (303.964.3633) to schedule your catering needs. When ordering, make sure to consider the space, any serving table needs, and the set-up time needed for room and catering set-up. An average of two hours is recommended for events with thirty people or fewer, while an average of four hours is recommended for events with more than thirty people.

Bon Appetit must be used for all food and drinks served in the Mountain View Room, Recital Hall Lobby, Clarke Hall first floor, Student Center Main Café, Faculty Lounge, Book and Bean, and Main Hall 333. Despite location, if a meeting has twenty people or fewer or if an event is a potluck, it is not required to use Bon Appetit. For potlucks, deli/catering trays, restaurant-ordered meals, etc. may not be used.

Alcohol

Please contact the University’s food service provider for bartending services that are available for catered events for an additional cost.

Grill

There is a large, outdoor propane grill that may be requested for internal events. Propane is provided for internal events at no additional charge. A mat or similar material must be placed beneath the grill during use at all times. A grill should always be used at least ten feet from any building, tree, or potential fire hazards.

Before turning on the grill, make sure that knobs are turned off and open the lid. Then, open the propane cylinder's valve counterclockwise to release the propane gas so it will move toward the burners. Turn on the burners, making sure that they are lighted properly. After being positive that the grill is lit, then close the cover to allow the grill to heat up more quickly.

After cooking, leave the burners on for five to ten minutes to cook off any fallen food; please scrape down the grates as needed. Then, close the propane’s cylinder valve. Next, turn the grill knobs to the off position. Allow the grill to cool completely before closing its lid and returning it to storage.

It is the responsibility of the Requestor to make sure that the grill is never left unattended and that it is placed in a location that creates no harm to people or facilities. Propane must always be stored in the upright position.

Liability

It is important to keep the safety of all members and guests of the Regis University in mind when planning events. To ensure proper safety and event coordination, ample preparation time must be used for events.

Please keep in mind that External Events and Sponsored Events (i.e. all events with an external organization) require submitting a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for Liability to the Office of Event Services. The COI must meet the specific minimum amounts and have the correct language. Many organizations have readily access to a COI, while others may first need to purchase this insurance for the event, so please communicate these insurance needs early.

When an outside vendor comes to campus, it is important that the vendor has taken proper safety measures to protect Regis University and all members of the Regis University community. If there are any questions about the risks assumed with a particular event or vendor, please contact the Office of Event Services, who will assist you in the risk assessment process.

Minors on Campus

Effective in the spring of 2014, there is a Regis University Minors on Campus Policy. This is designed to make sure that all youth are protected and safe when attending major events, camps, and conferences at Regis University. Please contact the Office of Event Services if your event includes minors.

Alcohol

While many events and spaces on campus are permitted to have alcohol, there are major liability and safety considerations to keep in mind. In addition to the legalities of Colorado Liquor statutes, it is important to consider the safety and well-being of guests, the qualification of vendors, and the amount of staffing for such events. Please contact the Office of Event Services if your event includes alcohol.

Tabling

Lobby and Vendor tables are used in the Student Center. The following procedures guide through the process of requesting and using Lobby and Vendor Tables. As with all Event Procedures, requesting users and guests should be in compliance with the Regis University Student Handbook and all applicable Regis University policies.

All events must present at REM if they are expecting 50 guests or more. Please attend REM at least 4 weeks before your event. Major events may necessitate coming to a meeting even sooner (3-5 months before your event). Here are the steps and guidelines for presenting at REM:

Set up at time to present at REM.
Please contact the Office of Event Services (events@regis.edu) to have your event added to the agenda. REM is traditionally held for the first and third Tuesday of each month from 1:30-2:30 in the West Hall Conference Room. If there are no presenters, REM may be cancelled.

Prepare relevant information.
Schedule your space and assess your event needs. Consider any questions you will have for our REM attendees.

If catering, rental, cleaning, and other costs apply, please be prepared to provide your budget number.

Attend REM.

We first start with any guest presenters, who usually speak for 2-5 minutes each. We close by reviewing upcoming events and any additional business. You are welcome to stay or leave after you present. Note: If you have many logistics needing attention, please print 10 copies with information about your event needs.
