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

  1. Bob Carpenter Sports/Convocation Center will only charge for tables and chairs which it cannot supply and which must be rented from other sources including Clayton Hall and the Student Center.
  2. Parking lot use will be complimentary; any special staffing will be at an additional charge.
  3. There will be no additional charge for trash removal related to Dining Services.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Volunteer ushers may be provided if supervised by University staff.
  7. The University will make the final determination on numbers of staff required to support an event, especially with regard to security.
