REIMBURSABLE CHARGES
Reimbursable charges will be based on the level and type of services required to support the event.

  1. Charges will be assessed for all tables and chairs required.
  2. Parking lot rental will typically be charged unless the customer prefers patrons pay by the car.
  3. There will be an additional charge for trash removal not related to Dining Services.
  4. Box office charges will apply to those ticketed events handled through the Bob Carpenter Sports/Convocation Center. Ticketmaster charges may apply.
  5. Cost to use the portable staging for a dais or stage will be based on the number of sections and the hours required to assemble and dismantle up to the published maximum.
  6. During the basketball/volleyball season, the event will be charged for removal and reinstallation of the portable floor if required to execute the event. Depending on the schedule there may be opportunities for the cost to be shared by several events, provided the groups are agreeable to this arrangement. If the floor remains in place, the Bob Carpenter Sports/Convocation Center staff will cover it at no additional charge to the event.
  7. Volunteer ushers may be provided if supervised by University staff.
