Introduction Welcome Organization Leaders!

To best serve our campus organization community, the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center (CLIC) created this Campus Organization Handbook. A resource for students and advisors alike, the handbook contains important information related to operations and management of an organization at Denison University…the best part-it is all in one place!

With the help of many campus partners, the Campus Organization Handbook provides information regarding general organization information, club sports, fraternity and sorority life, organization finances and fundraising, and advertising and promotion. Additionally, you will find policies and procedures regarding events, travel, alcohol, advisors, and leased spaces for organizations within these pages. For added convenience, we have included links to resources, a list of important campus contacts and an appendix with sample forms and information to support the operation and success of your organization.

Please share this handbook with members and advisors; keeping in mind this is a great resource for day-to-day operations, training and transition.

Best wishes for a great year! Your Campus Leadership & Involvement Center

General Requirements & Expectations Campus Organization Policies of the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center

he Campus Leadership and Involvement Center provides support and resources to the more than 170 campus organizations at Denison University. Campus organizations range from academic and spiritual

to club sports and beyond, with plenty of options for students to gain experience and a place to call home outside of the classroom.

Organization Registration New Organizations Proposals for new campus organizations are considered when the purpose of the potential new organization is explicitly different than all other currently registered organizations at Denison University. Students interested in potentially founding a new organization should start by cross-referencing the recognized campus organizations purposes by visiting the organization database online.

Petitioning organizations need a purpose and/or mission that is in alignment with the institution’s mission, an advisor that is a Denison full-time faculty or staff, a constitution and/or bylaws. Potential new organizations need two officers: president (or equivalent) and either a treasurer or secretary (each with minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0). If the organization wishes to request funds from the Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA), that organization must have a treasurer.

To propose a new organization, students should log-in to OrgSync, using their Denison IDs & passwords and click on the “Organizations” tab. The green “Register New Organization” button will access the organizational proposal form directly. Only forms filled out completely will be considered. Upon

submission, applicants will be prompted to email the Director of Campus Leadership & Involvement to setup an appointment with CLIC and a member of the DCGA Rules Committee. Potential new organizations should be prepared to discuss what makes the potential new organization unique, how it can promise sustainability over time, what kinds of projects it might foreseeably take on and how the organization fits the mission of the University. Following the meeting, the DCGA Rules Committee will meet to review the application and meeting minutes and make a decision regarding approval within seven (7) working days.

Should it be approved, a new organization must renew its registration every year and abide by all policies and procedures as outlined by CLIC, DCGA and all other University policy.

Current/Renewing Organizations

Organizations must renew their registrations each spring by the deadline set annually by CLIC. This renewal can be completed by an organization administrator as designated in OrgSync and can be completed by clicking on the “Settings” in the left pane of the organization’s page and completing the required elements. Current organizations must maintain at least two officers: president (or equivalent) and either a treasurer or secretary, (each with minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0), keeping in mind if the organization wishes to request funds from the Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) that it must have a treasurer.

Campus organization registration elements include the organization’s full name and nickname, keywords for the OrgSync search function, a description of the organization, and a website address (if applicable).

In terms of organization personnel, officer and advisor information is required. Officer information includes name, officer designation, class year, email address, phone number, and Slayter box number. Advisor information requested is name, title, department, email address and phone number. Upon submission of the form, the advisor will receive an email prompting him/her to confirm the details of the registration are correct – acting as an electronic signature. This confirmation by advisor must be made in order for registration to be considered complete.

Subsequent pages within the registration request information regarding the organization’s intent to request funds from DCGA, the organization’s purpose statement (that must be in alignment with the University mission), an uploaded copy of the current constitution/bylaws, and an explanation of officer selection, elections and transition processes. Other required information includes

information about executive officers, number of current members, and affiliation with local/national/international organization (if applicable).

The final pieces of the registration request response to several commitment statements. These statements are in regards to non-discrimination, participation in Campus Organization Orientation, commitment to upholding Denison policies/procedure, intention to participate in the fall Involvement Fair, and new organization request elements (if applicable).

Current and/or renewing organizations must also maintain current records, use DCGA funds properly and as allocated, attend Campus Organization Orientations and additional meetings as required by DCGA or CLIC and must also remain in good standing and be violation free with the institution.

It is important to note that during officer turnover, training and transition, organizations must update their registration within OrgSync to reflect these changes. Organizations may update their changes in officers or governing constitutions at any time throughout the year, as often as necessary.

ORGSYNC The Campus Leadership and Involvement Center uses a program called OrgSync for the management of campus organizations. OrgSync is a web application that allows students to join, organize, manage and communicate with campus organizations and their members. Each student creates a personal portal containing critical information for the organizations to which they belong. It allows students and organizations to manage organizational records, store and share important documents, communicate with members, plan and publicize events, and track service hours and meeting attendance. OrgSync also means less paperwork. Forms commonly used by campus organizations are available online via OrgSync.

Students and OrgSync

Students, once registered in Denison’s site, has access to important resources that allow them to discover programs and organizations on campus. OrgSync makes it easier for students to engage in campus life and manage their co-curricular involvement.

Students have the ability to view sites, explore organizations, and request information about getting involved in one or more of the over 170 campus organizations at Denison within these categories: academic, club sports, event programming, fraternity and sorority life, media/publication, multicultural, performing arts, political, religious/spiritual, service, special interest, spirit, and student governance.

Photos and videos can be uploaded to inform students about opportunities organization afford students and also highlight events.

Loss of privileges Campus organizations can lose any and/or all privileges due to:

§ Incomplete registration on OrgSync § Missing deadlines § Non-participation in required Campus Organization Orientations and

trainings § Failure to remain in good standing with the University § Being placed on sanction with the University and/or inter/national

organization § Misuse of DCGA funds § Violation of University policies, code of conduct, local, state, and

federal laws

General Organization Conduct The Code of Student Conduct reads that every Denison student is expected to abide by the University’s policies and rules, and to report to the University when they observe others violating those rules. This expectation also extends to campus organizations at Denison. Alleged violations by campus organizations are referred to the Office of Student Conduct & Campus Values (OSC) and are resolved in accordance with the expectations and procedures outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. Organization leaders, as well as their membership, are strongly encouraged to read the student code to become familiar with the University’s procedures for resolving alleged violations.

Where a reported violation may be determined to involve a campus organization and result in a formal charge under the student code, the organization’s president will most often be the receiver of notice from the student conduct office. In the same way individual student conduct matters are managed, the president (and sometimes the organization’s risk manager) will be required to attend a conduct meeting to resolve the matter on behalf of the organization. Organizations will have the opportunity to admit or deny responsibility. As articulated in the code, if charges can be resolved administratively by mutual consent and on a basis acceptable to the conduct educator (here, the conduct office and typically the Associate Dean of Students), then the case shall be considered finally decided. If the organization denies responsibility or if the charges cannot be resolved by mutual consent, the organization will be provided an opportunity to be heard (in a manner consistent with the student code) prior to the University making a determination. Cases involving campus organizations are always resolved administratively with a conduct educator. Conduct outcomes are subject to the normal appeal process outlined by the code.


6

It is the practice of the Office of Student Conduct & Campus Values to work and communicate closely with the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center (CLIC) when addressing alleged misconduct by organizations. CLIC administrators may be asked to participate in conduct meetings or hearing proceedings at the discretion of the Office of Student Conduct & Campus Values. Incidents involving Greek-letter organizations are normally communicated to the respective inter/national office. Denison values fraternity and sorority life on campus and relies on open and frequent communication with inter/national offices to preserve and develop fraternity and sorority involvement on campus. When possible, the University strives to resolve fraternity and sorority conduct issues collaboratively with inter/national offices, with shared learning outcomes and accountability. These decisions, however, are not binding; the University reserves the right to issue sanctions or other requirements independent of accountability being communicated by chapter offices.

Hazing Students within Denison’s community are expected to treat other persons with dignity, respect, mutual consideration and to respect and preserve property, and to act with due regard for the health and safety of others. No Denison University student or organization shall conduct nor condone hazing activities.

Denison’s Code of Student Conduct reads:

Hazing, by its nature, relies on the exertion of power over another by a person or group, and the submission by or inability of the receiver to confront that wrongdoing. It shows reckless disregard for persons’ dignity and may be injurious, both emotionally and physically. At Denison, hazing is contrary to our shared value that each person be treated with unconditional respect.

Consistent with the Ohio Revised Code, Denison does not condone hazing behaviors of any kind by any individual, organization or group. No Denison University student or campus organization shall conduct or condone hazing activities. Hazing activities are defined as any action taken or situation created, directly or indirectly, whether on or off university premises, which results in or has the potential to result in mental or physical injury, discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, the use of alcohol, paddling in any form, creation of excessive fatigue, mutilation or alteration of the body, physical and psychological shocks, quests or road trips, engaging in public stunts of misbehavior, degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other such activities that are not consistent with academic achievement, fraternal or organizational rituals or policies, or State of Ohio law. Arguments that the participant took part voluntarily in the behavior, that he or


7

she voluntarily assumed the risks or hardship of the activity, or that no injury (physical or mental) in fact was suffered shall not constitute justification under this hazing policy.

Failure by individuals and/or organizations to comply with the University Anti-Hazing policy constitutes a major violation of the Code of Student Conduct and may result in sanctions for the organization and/or individuals, including but is not limited to: disciplinary probation, deactivation, suspension, expulsion, withdrawal of recognition and/or suspension of operations.

To report possible violations, even anonymously, call the "Hazing Hotline" at (888) NOT-HAZE (668-4293), or contact the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center, (740) 587-6739.

ADvisors Selection

When selecting an advisor, organizations should keep in mind that s/he must be employed full-time as defined by Denison University. The advisor will be familiar with the mission and goals of the organization and will support the group throughout the year to meet these objectives. Selecting someone who can dedicate time to meet with all members and attend functions is also pertinent to the success of the organization.

Responsibilities

Individuals selected as advisors should be accessible to the organization and its members. Advisors are often needed to give advice and provide leadership and insight, to represent the organization, and complete and sign forms regarding organization registration, finances and other business. Additionally, advisors should be informed of University policies and procedures, encouraging the organization to follow them for the betterment of their success, provide supervision in the administering of financial affairs, and attend organization meetings and events as often as possible.

Organization Relationship with Advisor

Organizations should keep the advisor informed concerning overall progress notify their advisors in advance of the schedule of meetings and events. Organizations should communicate with the advisor regarding issues that affect the welfare of the organization and changes in policies and procedures. Maintaining a relationship based on trust, communication and mutual interest will help the organization perform to its highest ability.

Safety, Security and risk management

Office of Campus Safety, Security, and Risk Management

Students can begin to seek membership in a new fraternity or sorority when the campus is designated open for expansion. The Campus Leadership and Involvement Center, Student Development and the governing councils determine designation of a campus open for expansion. Students may contact the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center or one of the fraternity/sorority councils for more information.

Requirements for obtaining approval General requirements. In order to form a recognized fraternity or sorority, a group must: seek membership when the campus is designated open for expansion and obtain approval to proceed with exploration regarding expansion from the appropriate fraternity/sorority governing council as per its


22

requirements. Because each council has different procedures, the appropriate council should be contacted directly for more information. Lastly, an organization must have two (2) students (in good standing) to act as incorporators who will be legally responsible for the formation of the organization. Some inter/national organizations may require more and in that case Denison will follow said guidelines.

Moving forward. Upon initial approval to begin the process, students must officially register as social/volunteer campus organization before moving forward in the process and work closely with the governing council and CLIC to submit all official fraternity/sorority documents and forms including insurance policies upon request.

Compliance with University policy. Groups must agree to comply at all times with any and all University policies, procedures, rules, regulations and guidelines.

Council obligations. Each council has different requirements and timelines regarding exploration and expansion. These are typically governed by inter/national headquarters and/or inter/national council.

Lodges/Housing

Non-residential houses and lodge spaces for fraternities and sororities are recognized by Denison University.

Houses and lodges are either owned and individually operated by the organizations and their respective housing corporations or are leased spaces through a contract/agreement with Denison University.

Regardless of how the property is aquired, organizations must abide by inter/national policies, and in accordance with local, state and federal laws, adhering to the terms set forth in their lease agreement with the institution or the inter/national governing documents. It is important for organizations and members to understand the policies for the space regarding general conduct, building capacity, prohibition of alcohol, swipe access and entry times, and storage of important fraternity/sorority items in a secured location. Organizations wishing to host events outside of the general access times (daily between 7:00 a.m.-2:00 a.m.) and over semester and summer breaks must garner approval from CLIC and Safety, Security, and Risk Management and other offices dependant upon the circumstances for special access at


23

least seven (7) days in advance of the event and may need to complete paperwork regarding events. These special requests also apply to alumnae requests to use the space. Organizations should make the request in writing to the Associate Director of CLIC and work with other campus departments as necessary, under the advisement of CLIC.

Finances Denison Campus Governance Association Funding for Campus Organizations

any registered campus organizations receive funding from the Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) and maintain accounts on campus. The following section provides an overview of

applying for funding, maintaining accounts, ordering supplies and tracking expenses.

Eligibility for DCGA Funding Registered campus organizations can apply annually for funding through the Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA). To be considered for funding, organizations must have up-to-date registration via the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center (CLIC), an approved constitution on file with DCGA and attend an official DCGA Treasurer’s Meeting.

Applying for DCGA Funding All budget requests submitted in the proper electronic format by the posted deadline will be reviewed. Requests should include a cover letter that includes the following information: organization’s name, date of submission, responsible organization treasurer (or equivalent), organization’s account number(s) and any existing outside accounts and the total of the request. This cover letter should also include the signature of the president and advisor. DCGA encourages organizations to take good care when writing budget requests, using multiple sources for quotes, working closely with the Purchasing Office and explaining thoughtfully the reason for the request.

Funding applications require definite plans. The application should include evidence of thoughtful and intelligent research including names, dates, times and multiple price quotations. Events that have already occurred or will occur during the process of allocation will not be considered for funding.

Section 4 M


25

If a campus organization fails to submit a budget request including all necessary forms for spring budget hearings, it forfeits its privilege to submit a request to the Finance Committee for the duration of the next fiscal year. Organizations established after the spring budget submission deadline are permitted to submit budget requests in the fall.

There are three types of budget requests and campus organizations that campus organizations should know:

§ Budget Allocation: Submitted during spring budget hearings and sometimes subsequently for additional funding requests.

§ Budget Reallocation: Used to reallocate previously allocated (but not spent) money for a different purpose.

§ Collaboration Request: When multiple organizations are working together to put on an event, each funding specific aspects they submit a Collaboration Request.

Fiscal Responsibility Each campus organization, when requesting funding, should have its treasurer include DCGA’s Statement of Fiscal Responsibility Form. The form asks organizations to commit to the following:

§ Be fiscally responsible for all funds allocated by the Denison Campus Governance Association.

§ Abide by the itemized budget approved by the Finance Committee and acknowledge that the organization may be randomly audited by the Finance Committee at any time.

§ Understand that any misspending of funds could render an organization subject to punishment imposed and enforced by the DCGA, ranging from the freezing of an organization’s account to the suspension of our organization’s constitution.

§ The treasurer of the organization will keep an accurate and up-to-date record of the organization’s spending, including keeping all receipts and a copy of all Short Order Forms.

§ Leaders and representatives of the organization, must attend specified mandatory meetings scheduled by the Finance Chair and failure to do this may result in the freezing of an organization’s account.


26

§ In the event that a campus organization changes its leadership (officers), it will notify the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center and the Finance Chair by submitting a proposal for a potential new campus organization.

Funding for Food All food requests will be reviewed with a high level of scrutiny. Food-centered events that are essential to an organization’s functioning will carry greater weight in committee consideration. Moderation in requests should be the guideline when planning these requests and reallocations. The Finance Committee requests, when possible, the use of student Denison ID numbers to cover meals. Organizations may refer to the Dining Services section of this handbook for details.

Banquets for DCGA-funded speakers and guests will not be funded due to the limited opportunity for all Denison community members to partake in these events.

Only alcoholic beverages for religious events, which are cleared by both the Director of Religious and Spiritual Life and the Director of Administrative Services will be funded. Requests should be made to the aforementioned directors in writing. The approval must be in place prior to the budget request and at least thirty (30) calendar days before the event.

Capital expenses First-time, non-reoccurring capital expenses (anything that costs more than $350) will be considered; however, all price quotations and purchases must go through and come from the Purchasing Office.

Non-Fundable Items DCGA does not fund gifts. T-shirts are not funded by DCGA, but organizations may apply for a T-shirt loan to be reimbursed to DCGA within a stipulated timeframe by the Finance Committee; these requests should be made in writing to DCGA Finance. Lodging for students is not funded by DCGA, however lodging for speakers and guests are eligible for funding.

Funding for Promotions & Advertising Campus organization advertisements and promotions should be considered. The Finance Committee encourages eco-friendly advertising and will limit the amount of funding for paper advertisements. Generally, mailbox stuffers are not funded by DCGA. DCGA encourages campus organizations to use the Campus Organization Resource Area (CORA) to create advertisements. Any


27

advertisement of an event with DCGA funding should include the words: “Funded by DCGA” on the promotion.

Funding for Repairs If an organization shows substantial need for a general repair fund, the DCGA Finance Committee may fund a maximum of $2,000 per request. It is the responsibility of the campus organization to notify the Finance Chair when the repair funds are utilized. Extreme emergencies will be taken under consideration, but the Finance Chair must be contacted directly for additional funding considerations.

Transportation Funding DCGA Finance Committee favors the least expensive method of transportation. University vehicles cost $0.50/mile. Personal vehicles will be reimbursed at $0.23/mile. Rental vans from outside of the University vary in price. For information about reserving University vehicles or renting vehicles from off-campus, see the Transportation section.

Favorable Considerations Organizations that are outward reaching in their events and planning will be favored by DCGA above organizations with internally focused events and planning. Outward reaching events and intentions refer to those that involve a large number of participants beyond the members of the hosting organization and/or expose the Denison community to new experiences.

The Finance Committee also favors collaborative programming. Collaboration (formerly referred to as co-sponsorship) includes multiple campus organizations, thereby benefiting a larger number of Denison community members. Collaborative request will be held to the same standards as individual organization allocation requests. Organizations collaborating on request must submit a Collaborative Budget Request.

The Finance Committee places special emphasis on a need for weekend programming and thus favors events that occur on weekends.

Revenue Accounts All revenue accounts must be maintained through the University, with the exception of those that contain organization dues. If an organization has established an outside account for dues or a separate University account, it must notify the Finance Committee prior to budget requests. Failure to notify the


28

Finance Committee of these accounts may result in the nullification of any budget approvals.

Organization Revenue Any organization that generates revenue with the use of University money (i.e. DCGA funds) must surrender that revenue to the University. Campus organizations may create separate University accounts for donations and fundraisers. At the end of the fiscal year, money generated via fundraising without the use of University fund and kept in a separate University account will not be seized by DCGA.

Bookkeeping All campus organizations must maintain a log of all transactions and expenditures in an Excel spreadsheet. Copies of all receipts are required to be kept. The Finance Committee reserves the right to perform an audit at any time, and both the receipts and the spreadsheet must be presented upon request. Organizations found negligent and guilty of misspending may lose their privileges to DCGA funding, to be a registered campus organization, and/or their accounts could be frozen until a time determined by DCGA.

Short Order Forms Short Order Forms allow campus organizations to purchase goods and services from various local vendors without the use of a credit card or the need to be reimbursed. Short Order Forms must be requested from the Finance Chair or Treasurer of DCGA. A valid short order form contains the signature of the Purchasing Agent and the Finance Chair/DCGA Treasurer.

To obtain a Short Order Form, organizations should send a written request to the Finance Chair and include the organization name, Slayter Box number and when the form is needed in the body of the email. A signed Short Order Form will be delivered to the listed Slayter Box number. Organizations should fill out the form with the following information: name of the organization, place where the form is being used, organization treasurer’s name, organization account number and purpose/event name. Short order forms can be made for purchases under $350. Forms may not be stacked to make a purchase of more than $350. The original receipt and the yellow copy of the form should be sent to the Accounting Office, the green copy should be submitted to Purchasing and the pink copy of the form should be kept on file by the organization.

Working with University Departments on Financial Matters

ampus organizations have access to many offices and departments on campus that can assist them in making purchases, ordering equipment, depositing funds, requesting checks and a number of other financial

matters. This section explains these resources.

Requesting a Check Oftentimes organizations need to request a check to be cut in order to pay a vendor, performer or to handle a reimbursement (please note that taxes are never reimbursed). In order to do this, organizations must use a Request for Payment Form (RFP). RFPs are available from the Accounting Office. Organizations that need assistance filling out this paperwork are encouraged to setup an appointment with the Accounting Office. When preparing to fill out a Request for Payment Form (RFP) campus organizations should gather the following information:

§ the name of payee

§ address of payee

§ Denison ID number of payee (if a Denison student or employee)

§ W-9 of payee (if an off-campus performer)

§ reason for payment

§ a copy of signed contract (if to pay for performer)

§ a copy of the receipt(s) (if for reimbursement purposes)

§ signatures of treasurer and/or advisor

§ organization account number

§ number of miles driven (for personal mileage reimbursement)

Transferring Money When a campus organization needs to transfer money from one University account to another University account, the Journal Entry Form must be filled out. Organizations will need to be prepared with the following information when preparing a Journal Entry Form: names of the accounts, account indexes and

C


31

codes, the amount to debit from one account and the amount to credit the other account and a description of the reason for the transfer. The organization treasurer should prepare the form and have the other University entity receiving the transfer authorize it. These forms are managed by the Controller’s Office, in Doane 102. Organizations who would like assistance with a Journal Entry Form should setup an appointment with the Controller’s Office.

Borrowing a University Credit Card Credit cards are available for use of campus organizations on a temporary (no more than 24-hour basis). Cards can be used at either the Meijer or Wal-Mart on North 21st Street in Newark and are limited to $250 per use. Individuals must have their Denison University ID’s available for the cashier to view. Sales Tax Exemption Cards for Wal-Mart are also available. Meijer’s provides approval at the cashier or customer service station.

These cards cannot be used at any other location or any other retailer. Purchased items are to be for general supplies or food to be used by the student agency or group if such a purchase was approved by DCGA. No personal items of any sort, no tobacco products or alcohol, cell phones, gasoline, or any other services are permitted.

Cards are held by Purchasing, Doane 303, and can be reserved for use by completing a request form. Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis and are not available online. Forms are available at DCGA Office or Purchasing and must be approved by the organization’s treasurer.

The borrowing person will be solely responsible for the card. It cannot be given to or used by another group during the check out period. The card must be returned with all cash register receipts to Purchasing at the end of the reserved time period for use. Any individual who fails to return the card and receipts will automatically lose the right to borrow the card and may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Campus Values. Lost or non-returned cards will be disabled immediately.

Making a Tax Exempt Purchase Denison University is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization and thus does not pay sales and use taxes. When making a purchase on behalf of the University at the store, organizations must make sure to bring along a Blanket Certificate of Exemption. These are only to be used in conjunction with University funds approved by DCGA within campus organization budgets.


32

Ordering supplies & Equipment Organizations that need to order supplies and equipment should work with the Purchasing Office. Purchasing can help organizations to find the best deal on an item or the most appropriate vendor. Organizations should setup an appointment with the Purchasing Office and bring along a filled out Requisition Form and include the following information: DCGA approved budget, name of potential vendor, vendor’s address, organization account number, where to deliver the equipment, the item(s) (including descriptions, item numbers and links if applicable), prices (including shipping) and quantity.

Making a Deposit Organizations sometimes handle cash and checks that need to be deposited into a University account. To make a deposit, organizations should visit the Controller’s Office and fill out a Deposit Slip. Organizations should be prepared with organization name, revenue account number and cash and or checks (totaled). Deposits should be made ASAP; no cash or checks should be stored in a campus organization’s leased space or personal room. For questions related to making a deposit, organizations can visit the Controller’s Office.

On-Campus Purchases Organizations can purchase approved items with DCGA funds on-campus at the Bookstore, Campus Services, Dining Services, Copy Center and the Slayter Snack Bar by using the organization’s expense account. Official signatory (i.e. Treasurer or President) is often required. Organizations should keep careful record of these purchases, along with a copy of all of the receipts.


33

Fundraising Campus organization fundraisers and sales

ampus organizations are encouraged to fundraise for the benefit of their organization or for charitable causes. The procedures and guidelines for conducting fundraisers are addressed in this section.

Purpose Campus organizations may sponsor fundraising events to benefit their organizations or for causes that are clearly communicated during any fundraising activities. Campus organizations may not raise funds to benefit any specific individual, unless the circumstance for fundraising is approved by Campus Services via a Fundraising and/or Information Table Request.

Campus organizations may sponsor commercial or business ventures on campus when their efforts further a fundraising or academic goal of the organization. However, all commercial or business venture type of activities must demonstrate a reasonable value to the sponsoring organization and may not detract from or harm the Denison community. Organizations are encouraged to visit Campus Services, 200 Slayter Union, with questions related to fundraisers.

proposals Organizations wishing to fundraise by selling goods or services on campus must submit a Fundraising and/or Information Table Request. This form is due no fewer than seven (7) working days before the beginning of the fundraiser to Campus Services. The form asks organizations to describe the proposed product to be sold, the cost to the buyers, the reason for the fundraising, the duration of the sale (not to exceed three days), the proposed location of the sale and any relevant design and/or drawings of the product (ex. shirt design). No bake sales, food sales or food samples giveaways may be held on campus unless the food is provided by Dining Services or is approved by Campus Services. The Manager of Campus Services will review all proposals for fundraisers and respond or

Section 5 C


34

request more information. Some fundraising activities may require a meeting with Campus Services to ensure compliance with University policy and procedures.

Location The Fundraising and/or Information Table Request allows organizations to reserve tables inside Slayter or outside the front doors of Slayter on Academic Quad (weather permitting) for fundraising purposes. The organization is responsible for properly reserving the space for approved fundraiser if it is a location different than Slayter Union separately; approval for the sale does not mean the space is reserved for sale. Requests for fundraising space outside of Slayter Union should be made in writing to Campus Services with the proper space reserved. There are six-foot tables available near the grand staircase on the second floor of Slayter Union. Campus organizations and other groups reserving tables in Slayter Union or on the Academic Quad are responsible for cleaning and returning tables to the table cart upon conclusion of event. Failure to do so can result in the revocation of the privilege to reserve table space and/or conduct fundraisers. Storage of signage, product, money collected or other miscellaneous supplies is the sole responsibility of the campus organization.

Standards The use of the Denison name has ideals that must be upheld. The product(s), service(s) or information offered must conform to the Denison University Code of Student Conduct. All products, services or information must avoid demeaning sexual, racial or other discriminatory references and must avoid promoting the abuse of alcohol or use of drugs. The Campus Services office reserves the right to refuse the selling, distribution of any products, services or information offered by the campus organization or the perspective vendor.

Off-campus vendors Credit card vendors and agents are not permitted to solicit on Denison's campus. Vendors being sponsored on campus by registered organizations must pay the organization 15% of total sales or $50 per day, whichever is greater, for a space able to accommodate up to three six-foot tables. Space for additional tables (up to three) will cost the vendor an additional $25 per day, flat fee. It is the sole responsibility of the campus organization to set-up tables for its fundraising or informational activities.

Advertising & Promotions Campus organization posting information

ampus organizations may promote their events, opportunities and programs on campus via several advertising methods. The following section covers the policies, resources and best practices for campus

organization marketing.

CONTENT Campus organizations may post advertisements to promote opportunities and events for the Denison community. Postings should always include the organization name along with event-specific details such as who, what, where and when. If applicable, promotions should include the language: “Funded by DCGA.”

All promotions must avoid demeaning sexual, racial or other discriminatory references and must avoid promoting the abuse of alcohol or use of drugs. Wording or artwork on any posting may not contain reference to an amount or type of alcohol available at an event, nor may it reference alcohol to be the dominant feature of the posting

When to post Posters and other advertisements may be posted when an organization has successfully completed appropriate reservations for space with Campus Services and any other relevant arrangements (catering via Dining Services, technical requests via Red Tech, etc). Campus organizations are encouraged to post their promotions at least one week before the event/program. Advertisement to the general campus population of any event requiring a guest list is not permitted.

Location of promotions Flyers are limited to appropriate bulletin boards in University buildings and not on any exterior surface, windows, exits or access doors. Postings should not

Section

6 C


36

overlap or conceal other posted items and posting is on a first-come, first-served basis. Banners should be hung only on the lower bannister on the second floor of Slayter Union. All other areas require the permission of the Campus Services office. Sidewalk chalk is permitted on sidewalk surfaces that are uncovered. It is not permitted on walls, doors or building exteriors. Door–to-door solicitation, placing advertising under doors of resident rooms or on any motor vehicle is not permitted. Denison reserves the right to remove any posting at its discretion. Expired promotions must be removed by the organization within three (3) days by the sponsoring organization .

Postings for student-initiated commercial enterprises must be approved in advance by Campus Services; off-campus commercial enterprises along with the sale of personal articles (e.g. books, couches) may only be advertised in Slayter Union on the Community Bulletin Board and Community Table.

Campus organization resource area The Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) maintains the Campus Organization Resource Area (CORA) on the third floor of Slayter for the use of registered campus organizations only. Campus organizations have access to these supplies free of charge to help promote upcoming programs and involvement opportunities. Some of the items found in CORA include: paper cutter, banner paper, scissors, glue, rulers, pencils, markers, paint, brushes, glitter, craft supplies, etc. To request additional supplies or refills, contact DCGA, 303 Slayter Union.

Organizations using CORA are expected to put away all supplies, recycle or dispose of materials as appropriate and clean up after using the space. Please report spills or damages to the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center (CLIC), 310 Slayter Union.

Printing promotions Campus organizations may print flyers and other promotions at the Denison University Copy Center, located in Doane 001.

When printing items organizations first need to make sure they have the appropriate funding to do so via DCGA. It is suggested that files are saved as PDFs. Organizations may submit the file via email or in person on a flash drive. All print orders should include a filled out Copy Center Form. Copyrighted material may not be printed unless receiving written permission from the person(s) holding the copyright. Organizations should be prepared with the following information: account name, account number, current date, number of pages, number of copies, whether or not prints should be back to back, paper size, paper color, black or white or color ink and other needs regarding cuts, folds,


37

staples, punches, binding, tabs, etc. Forms should be signed by the organization leadership (preferably treasurer or president) and include any special instructions. Forms can be brought to the Denison University Copy Center or emailed.

TYPES OF Printed items The following are some typical printed items campus organizations use to promote events and opportunities. The Denison University Copy Center can accommodate other types of promotions and materials as well. Please contact the Copy Center for specific requests and information.

§ Banners – Banners are the large, hand-drawn posters that hang along the railings and on the walls in Slayter or the Dining Halls. Please visit CORA for materials.

§ Flyers – All flyers should be bright and easily recognizable and should include the name of the event, the time, the location, and the logo of your organization. Any other relevant information like ticket prices or table sign-up times should also be included.

§ Table Toppers – Table toppers must be designed to be folded either in half or three times to stand on the table. Table toppers can only be placed on the tables in Slayter, Huffman, and/or Curtis and only for 48 hours before staff will remove them.

§ Mailbox Stuffers – Mailbox Stuffers are small advertisements that are put in student’s Slayter boxes. Mailbox Stuffers are not funded by DCGA.

Campus news outlets Press releases and announcements can be distributed to The Denisonian, WDUB, The Bullsheet and/or CLIC. Always include a description of the event and/or opportunity along with contact information. Information can be distributed to the following organizations:

§ The Bullsheet: The Bullsheet, a weekday publication, prefers that campus organizations create the text of the promotion. This should be a short blurb, which includes all relevant information (including names, dates, times, locations, prices, etc.). This should be emailed to [email protected] one week in advance. Organizations should include in the email which dates the promotions should be printed.

§ CLIC: CLIC promotes events and announcements on behalf of campus organizations. It sends a weekly email each Monday (This Week on


38

Campus), shares updates via Twitter, Facebook & OrgSync and prints a semester calendar. Information can be shared with CLIC via the Promotion Request Form. These forms are due a minimum of one week (7 days) in advance.

§ The Denisonian: Deliver a press release to The Denisonian, Denison’s campus newspaper, two weeks in advance. Photos are encouraged. Email [email protected].

§ WDUB: The campus radio station, WDUB 91.1 FM, will make public service announcements for campus organizations. A press release should be dropped in the box attached to the door of WDUB (located on the 1st floor of Slayter Union) at least one week in advance of the desired announcements. Organizations may also email [email protected].


39

Events On-campus events

enison campus organizations host a wide variety of events and programs both on and off campus. Logistical planning information, procedures, policies, deadlines and contacts are included in this section.

Researching performers Campus organizations often bring in speakers, performers and other vendors for events. Events that require contracts from off-campus entities must be handled carefully. Students are not permitted to make offers or enter into contracts on behalf of the University. The information below is provided to help campus organizations begin communication and information gathering with off-campus agencies and vendors. Immediately following this information gathering, the campus organization should set up an appointment with the Manager of Campus Services, to discuss the potential of the event and contracting.

§ By phone or via email, the organization may contact the organization representing the artist it is interested in booking. Campus Services, 200 Slayter Union, may be consulted if an organization is unsure how to contact a particular performer.

§ Organizations should know the dates they are interested in and ensure that preferred venues are available for the event, making reservations if necessary.

§ The individual contacting the performer or agency should include title, organization name and Denison University. (Example: Hello, I’m _______ (name), the _________ (position/title) of Denison University’s _________ (insert organization’s name.)

§ On first contact, organizations should inquire about both pricing and availability. (Example: I’m writing/calling to inquire about the availability

Section 7 D


40

and pricing of Cool Comedian for a potential performance at Denison University in Granville, Ohio on April 15, 17 or 19).

§ Discussions should be framed in an “informational format.” After receiving all of the information needed, organizations should thank the vendor and explain that the University will be in touch should it decide to move forward with an offer.

§ If contacting agents via telephone, organization should not make any verbal commitments during the initial call. Verbal agreements can be considered legally binding contracts.

§ Organizations should not share their budgets in the first conversation. Instead they can explain that they are simply gathering information for a potential event and that should Denison decide to move forward with an offer, the University will be in contact.

§ A sample inquiry email to a performer or vendor is included below.

Hello, I’m writing to inquire about the pricing and availability of (INSERT PERFORMER NAME HERE) for a potential event at Denison University in Granville, Ohio. The event would be a free show, open only to the Denison community. Denison University is located approximately 30 miles east of Columbus, OH. If you could please pass along any information regarding availability for January 24, January 31, February 18, and March 25, along with any technical riders, other cost considerations and a price quote, I would appreciate it Thank you, Your Name Your Organization Name & Title

Contracting performers After gathering information regarding the availability, contact information and pricing of a potential performer, organizations should set up appointments with Campus Services to begin the process of making an offer and requesting a contract. When setting up this appointment, campus organizations should be prepared to provide the approved budget from DCGA, all communication with performers and representatives, ideal dates, the organization account number, venue reservations and any other information specifically requested by Campus


41

Services. A professional staff member in Campus Services will help to make an official University offer and negotiate the contract.

When the contract is approved, it is important to review with the campus organization advisor and Campus Services to ensure all of the requirements of the contract are executed.

VENUE reservations Most spaces on campus (with the exception of athletic facilities) are reserved via Campus Services. When planning for events, it is important to reserve these spaces well in advance. Organizations should always account for setup and cleanup time when reserving venues for events.

Other considerations for event venues include capacity limits, whether or not the space has built in sound or will require assistance from Red Tech or an outside vendor, rain locations, acoustics, whether the space has built in stage and/or chairs or will require additional setup from Facilities Services, if University catering is required and noise policies. Campus Services can assist organizations in making informed decisions regarding venue reservations and needs.

Hotel reservations Some events require campus organizations to make hotel reservations on behalf of the performer visiting campus. Campus organizations should work with Campus Services to understand this aspect (if applicable) of the contract.

Hotel reservations are made with the assistance of the Purchasing Office. To reserve hotel rooms, make an appointment with the Purchasing Office. When setting up this appointment, campus organizations should be prepared to provide the approved budget from DCGA, the organization account number, the official contract, the number and types of rooms required, the specific check-in and check-out dates, the names the reservations should be made under and whether or not the performer is flying or driving. If the performer is flying, it is always recommended that s/he stay at a hotel at the Columbus Airport that provides free shuttle service to and from the hotel and airport. The Purchasing Office will help to recommend a hotel based on the information you provide.

Transportation reservations Some events require campus organizations to provide ground transportation for the performer. This generally requires campus organizations to rent a University vehicle (with approved funds from DCGA) from Safety, Security and Risk Management (multiple vehicles available for a rental fee) or Campus Services (one vehicle available for free) and deploy a campus organization member with


42

defensive driving to pickup and drop-off the performer at his/her hotel. It is recommended that performers who are flying stay at a hotel near the Columbus Airport as these hotels provide free shuttle service to and from the hotel, allowing for fewer trips for campus organizations. More detailed information about renting university vehicles can be found in the off-campus travel section.

Catering events Campus organizations wishing to provide food at their events should ensure they are following University guidelines. Most spaces on campus require the use of Denison Catering Services, with no outside food brought in. The only events that do not require the use of Catering Services are those that are hosted in The Bandersnatch or Lamson Lodge. DCGA rarely approves food for events. For more information about DCGA’s funding policies, visit the finances section.

Catering Services offers campus organizations special options for food at their events. Meal Exchange is a popular choice for campus organizations, as it does not require a budget. Campus organizations can request a meal exchange by submitting a Meal Exchange Sign Up Sheet and including the names, D-Numbers and signatures of all event attendees or members who would like meals at the event. Meal Exchange orders must be placed a minimum of 72 hours in advance.

Campus organizations also have the option of traditional catering via Catering Services. Organizations should setup an appointment to meet with a member of the Catering Services staff approximately 10 days before an event and bring along the following information: the date, time and location of the event, the DCGA approved budget, estimated number of event attendees, campus organization account number and any menu ideas. Catering orders must be placed a minimum of one week before the event.

Oftentimes performers have hospitality riders that campus organizations must accommodate. Catering Services should be consulted about these riders two weeks in advance. Should Catering Services be unable to accommodate some of the requests, items may be purchased off-site. Consult with Campus Services regarding hospitality riders as part of the contract process.

Off-Campus Catering Per the terms of the University's food service contract, purchasing food for Denison functions through any source other than Dining Services requires prior approval. In the case of DCGA sponsored organizations, requests must be made in writing to the Director of Administrative Services. Approval of requests is contingent on verification of sufficient liability insurance (most national chains and all vendors that accept Short Order Forms). When purchasing food from off-


43

campus, organizations are responsible for picking up the food and taking care of all setup, cleanup and supplies. Organizations may not bring outside food into areas where Dining Services is responsible. This includes, but is not limited to: Welsh Hills Room, Burton Morgan Center, Slayter Snack Bar (1st floor), The Roost (Slayter 3rd floor), Curtis and Huffman Dining Halls and the Presidents' Dining Room. Outside caterers are generally not permitted to provide food and services on campus. Lamson Lodge and The Bandersnatch are two venues that permit off-campus food vendors should approval be received by the Director of Administrative Services.

EQUIPMENT RESERVATIONS Depending on the type of event and location, campus organizations may need to rent or borrow equipment. Most equipment rentals have costs associated with them and organizations should make sure to consult their DCGA approved budget. The list below helps to identify types of equipment and appropriate offices to contact to request and reserve equipment. The list is not exhaustive. It is always recommended that campus organizations meet with Campus Services and explain the overall design and needs of an event to make the best decision on venue choice or to ask questions about equipment reservations.

§ Tables & Chairs: Campus organizations that require additional tables and chairs (not available in the venue) for an event should consult Facilities Services. Work orders should be submitted to [email protected] no less than one week in advance and include the following information: name of campus organization, event name, date, time of event, time of desired setup of tables & chairs, end time of event, time of desired teardown of tables & chairs, number/type of tables and chairs needed, event contact information, room reservation number and campus organization account number.

§ Sound & Lighting: Some events require amplified sound or special lighting. Portable sound machines are available from Campus Services. Some venues have this capability built-in. Events that require more technical assistance should consult Red Tech Sound Production.

§ Sign-Up Tables: Organizations wishing to reserve tables within Slayter Union for sign-ups or promotions can do so via the Fundraising/Information Table Request Form offered by Campus Services online. Sign-up tables must be reserved in advance and setup and stored following the allotted reservation time.

Club nights & other events with alcohol Events held on the third floor of Slayter have the option of being deemed a Club Night if they occur after 9 p.m. Club Nights permit students of legal drinking age to purchase alcoholic drinks in The Roost and carry them out on to the main floor.

To designate a Club Night event, campus organizations should start by reserving Slayter 3rd Floor via Campus Services and indicate the desire for a Club Night. This will require the Campus Organization Event With Alcohol Form that requests advisor approval, account information, date, location, start time, end time, program description, contact information and other details. Campus organizations should consult their DCGA approved budgets for appropriate funding.

If Club Night designation is approved, campus organizations should request a meeting with Campus Services to secure event monitors, wristbands and a students of legal drinking age list and to go over the expectations and responsibilities of the campus organization. Campus Services determines the number of necessary event monitors based on the type of event and anticipated attendance. Event monitors will consult the legal drinking age list, check IDs and


45

issue wristbands to students who meet the criteria to purchase alcohol. Event monitors will also be posted at important locations throughout the event for the safety of students. While reserving Slayter 3rd floor carries no charge, a Club Night requires event and wristbands. The cost for a Club Night is $22/hour per event monitor. Campus Services will bill organizations accordingly.

Campus organizations can host other events that permit alcohol, such as BYOB events. For more information about alcohol and campus organizations, see the Alcohol section of the Campus Organization Handbook.

Sponsorships Campus organizations often co-sponsor or collaborate on events with one another. Collaborations are always encouraged as it can often increase the number of attendees and promote a spirit of camaraderie in our community. DCGA encourages collaborations among campus organizations as well. Collaborative budgets are due at the same time as campus organization budgets. The DCGA Finance guidelines provide more information.

The Campus Leadership and Involvement Center offers co-sponsorship opportunities for registered campus organizations. Events must have an open admission policy (i.e. be open to all currently enrolled students). Additionally, campus organizations should follow all of the necessary policies and procedures for planning events at Denison. The Campus Leadership and Involvement Center may provide up to 50% of the total funding for the event, but no more. Events that are used as a fundraising source for organizations or philanthropies are not eligible for co-sponsorship nor are events that specifically advocate a specific political position or religious point of view. All advertising and promotions must list the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center. Special consideration is given to events taking place on Fridays and Saturdays after 10 p.m. Organizations interested in funding should fill out an Event Co-Sponsorship application no fewer than 14 days before an event and set up a meeting with a member of the CLIC staff. Events that are approved will also require a follow-up meeting with a member of the CLIC staff, along with a written evaluation of the program.

The Campus Leadership and Involvement Center is the only office that should be approached for co-sponsorship. At no time should a campus organization canvas other offices or departments for funding.

Alcohol sales


51 Updated 8.23.12

The selling of alcohol on campus is not permitted except through the University-held liquor license. Any alcohol to be sold must be approved by the Ohio Department of Liquor Control. This includes both "direct" and "indirect" sales, the latter referring to admission fees, donations, sales of cups/t-shirts or other items for admission as well as fundraising for a campus organization and/or charitable organization. The Roost is an Ohio Department of Liquor Control licensed site for sale. This is operated by Dining Services.

No alcohol shall be served to those who appear intoxicated, nor shall alcohol be served in an uncontrolled, unregulated manner.

The amount of alcohol available should follow responsible party hosting guidelines and be governed by anticipated attendance of those of legal age, facility capacity and length of event (not to exceed four hours). The amount must be determined at the time of registration.

Dining Services holds an Ohio Liquor license. Organizations are encouraged to hold their events that feature alcohol in The Roost (which is a licensed site for liquor sale) or with the assistance of Dining Services staff in Lamson Lodge. Dining Services staff are permitted to both sell and serve alcohol. Both events with alcohol sales and BYOB events can employ Dining Services to serve alcohol.

At any event at which alcohol is served or permitted, a reasonable quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (defined as lasting throughout the duration of the event or as long as alcohol is being served or permitted) other than water must be served.

Event Monitors Events involving alcohol require event monitors and/or staff members from Safety, Security and Risk Management to be hired. The number of event monitors required will be determined at the time of registration by the Manager of Campus Services and will depend on the size, nature and location of the event. If the event is approved, the Manager of Campus Services will determine the number of event monitors and/or security staff required for the event. Campus Services will arrange the event monitors and the security staff, and inform the coordinator of the event of the cost. The organization is required to have payment in full for security prior to the event.

The sponsoring organization is required to meet the event monitors or security personnel assigned to the event at the site of the event 15 minutes prior to the designated starting time. Campus organizations must check with event monitors/security personnel regularly (every one-half hour) to ensure all problems are dealt with expediently and the appropriate individuals know whom to contact in the case of an incident. Campus organizations should secure and monitor, in partnership with event monitors/security staff, the entrance to the event and the general facility to ensure that persons are not allowed to enter the facility from areas other than the designated entrance.

Denison University personnel shall have the authority to assist in the closing of an event, whether the event is closed at the designated time or prior to such time due to violations of this and/or other University policies.

wristbands The campus organization sponsoring the event is responsible for providing wristbands to indicate that attendees are over 21 years old. Certain events will also require tickets. If the attendee is verified as over 21 via officially University list provided by Campus Services, a wristband must be placed on his/her wrist by an event monitor. The hosting organization(s) will be responsible for monitoring the event to make sure no one is drinking without a wristband. Wristbands can be purchased via Campus Services.

sponsoring organization(s). In addition, Student Conduct and Campus Values charges may be filed against the sponsoring organization(s).

Open containers Open containers are not permitted in any common areas of the campus, including lobbies, lounges, stairways, parking lots, athletic fields/events, walkways or residential quads unless designated by provision of the Student Code of Conduct or published University policies and procedures. An exception is the side patio of Lamson Lodge during properly registered events with alcohol and all other nonacademic quad areas upon approval of a proposal by a sponsoring organization in conjunction with authorization of the Manager of Campus Services.

location The event location should be secured so that only one entrance is designated and will be used as such during the event, being sure to secure all other doorways, stairways, etc. so they are not open to entry from the exterior of the facility but accessible for use as an exit and otherwise safe under fire and safety guidelines.

There shall be one centrally-located point where all alcoholic beverages will be dispensed. No alcohol may be distributed from any other part of the event location (this includes private rooms).

The sponsoring organization should clean the facility and leave it as it was found before the event.

Club nights & other events with alcohol Events held on the third floor of Slayter have the option of being deemed a Club Night if they occur after 9 p.m. Club Nights permit students of legal drinking age to purchase alcoholic drinks in The Roost and carry them out on to the main floor. Specific information about Club Nights is found in the Events section.

Underage consumption All common/public areas of the host location must be monitored for underage consumption of alcohol. Any violations of this policy must be monitored and recorded and immediately reported to campus security.


54 Updated 8.23.12

Guest List Many organization social events (often fraternity/sorority events) require an official guest list. Each attendee must be checked against the guest list submitted via the On-Campus Event Form to ensure that he/she was invited.

Fraternity/Sorority & Other inter/national organizations Fraternities, sororities and other inter/national organizations often have specific guidelines they must follow when it comes to risk management and events that offer alcohol. Organizations should always be sure to understand their own inter/national standards and policies when planning these events. Should an organization wish to receive advising from Denison about these standards, it can contact the Associate Director of Campus Leadership & Involvement.

BYOB Events BYOB stands for Bring Your Own Beverages. Approved BYOB events follow all of the procedures and policies above. Additionally, these events have several specific protocols that must be followed.

Amount & types of permissible beverages. The amount of alcohol that he/she is bringing must be calculated against the amount of time left in the party. Persons of legal drinking age may bring in two (2) twelve ounce cans of beer or two (2) wine coolers per hour of the remaining time of the function, up to a maximum of six (6). Once a guest has brought in the allotted amount, they are not permitted to bring in any more alcohol.

Individuals may only receive one beverage at a time. To obtain a beverage, a person must present one ticket and his/her empty can. Sponsoring organizations are encouraged to require attendees who bring alcoholic beverages to the event to bring cans and further require that containers not be distributed without receipt of an empty container. (In other words, a person must bring an empty container to the dispensing location before another will be given out).

Beer or wine coolers are the only alcoholic beverages permitted at any social event. Any person bringing alcohol into the event is permitted to leave the function with any containers from those that they brought into the event prior to 30 minutes before the scheduled ending time of the event. Any alcohol remaining at the closing of the event will be claimed by Denison University Office of Safety, Security and Risk Management for disposal.


55 Updated 8.23.12

Tickets: The event monitors should take the alcohol from the attendee and give the attendee an equal number of tickets. During the event an individual with a wristband may obtain alcohol from the serving area by presenting a ticket. S/he is not guaranteed that alcohol brought into the function will be provided/returned to said individual if s/he is intoxicated or otherwise exhibits behavior unhealthy or unsafe for themselves or others at the function.

violations Violations of any aspect of this policy may result in the cancellation of the event, the sponsoring organization(s) being charged with violating University policy or referral to the Office of Student Conduct and Campus Values.

Travel Off-campus trips

enison campus organizations often go off-campus for cultural experiences, events, conferences, trips and travel. This section covers the procedures for reservations, policies, considerations and contacts.

Planning an off-campus trip Whether a campus organization is attending a professional conference or arranging for a social event, the Purchasing Office is an excellent resource. Making flight arrangements, contracting off-campus venues, registering for a conference, purchasing tickets to an event and other logistics are all areas that the Purchasing Office manages. Campus organizations should fill out the Student Travel Planning Form and make an appointment to meet with a representative of the Purchasing Office, prepared with the following information: the date(s), time and location of the travel, the DCGA approved budget (if applicable), required mode(s) of transportation, list of those traveling (if flying organizations will need to provide name, birthdate and gender), and any applicable event information details (such as conference website, registration forms, etc.).

Registering an off-campus trip Organizations planning events off-campus must register these events with the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center and should submit an Off Campus Event Registration form to the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center a minimum of seven (7) working days before the event. This registration requires a meeting with a member of the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center staff.

University vehicle reservations Denison University has several vehicles available for campus organizations to rent. These range from four to 12 passenger vehicles. Campus organizations

Section 9 D


58 Updated 8.23.12

can rent a University vehicle (with approved funds from DCGA) from Safety, Security and Risk Management (multiple vehicles available for a rental fee) or Campus Services (one vehicle available free of charge) and coordinate with a campus organization member with Defensive Driving to operate the vehicle.

Requests must be made at least three days in advance and are granted based on vehicle availability. The use of the University’s vehicles can be suspended in the event of adverse weather and/or unsafe road conditions. Campus organizations must present defensive driving cards and valid drivers’ licenses when signing out vehicles. Campus organizations that return vehicles in improper condition are subject to a $25 service charge. Campus organizations should be prepared with the following information: name of organization, account number, two student defensive drivers’ names and cell numbers, destination, purpose of trip, departure date/time and return time, vehicle passenger list, signatures of both drivers and signature of the campus organization advisor. Campus organizations must log the miles driven. Vehicles cannot be rented overnight and cannot go outside of Ohio. Organizations wishing to rent vehicles for longer stints or for out-of-state travel should consult the Non-University Vehicle section of the handbook.

§ Safety, Security and Risk Management. To reserve a vehicle with Safety, Security and Risk Management, campus organizations must submit a Vehicle Request Form. Campus organizations will be charged $0.50/mile.

§ Campus Services: Campus Services has one vehicle available for use of campus organizations, free of charge. The vehicle is a 12-passenger van and is only available for use Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday on a first-come, first-served basis. The vehicle must be used for official campus organization business. Reservations should be made in person at 200 Slayter Union.

Non-university VEHICLE reservations Campus organizations sometimes have the need for vehicles other than those available in the University motor pool. Examples of such needs would include overnight rentals or vehicles that accommodate more than 12 passengers. Organizations that wish to rent non-University vehicles should set up an appointment with the Purchasing Office. Campus organizations should be prepared with the following information at the time of the meeting: name of organization, account number, a copy of their DCGA approved budget (if applicable), destination(s), purpose of trip, departure date/time, return date/time, vehicle passenger list, contact information of students/advisors responsible for the trip. Please note that drivers of non-University vehicles must be 21 or older. The Purchasing Office will help organizations to fill out a


59 Updated 8.23.12

Requisition Form, which will require the signature of the advisor. Reservations for non-University vehicles should be made as early as possible; no later than two weeks before departure date.

Should the campus organization be taking a trip off-campus that requires the use of a bus, note that the bus should pickup all trip-goers outside of Deeds Field steps (next to the Mitchell Center). This location needs to be reserved with Campus Services.

VEHICLE & DRIVER EXPECTATIONS No smoking is permitted in University vehicles. Possession or use of alcohol or drugs in a University vehicle is prohibited for drivers and passengers. Drivers may not use cell phones while operating University vehicles. Vehicles are not to be parked any parking garages unless the entrance/exit is at least 8 feet. Vehicles contain a packet with a University gas card and all vehicles must be returned with at least ½ tank of gas. Vans must be returned immediately upon completion of the trip to the van parking area (P2). Other vehicles may be returned to P4 of the parking garage. Campus organizations should check the van prior to returning the keys to the Safety, Security and Risk Management office on P1 of the parking garage to ensure nothing was left behind, there is no trash and that the vehicle is locked.

Drivers must comply with all traffic regulations along with laws and ordinances. Drivers are responsible for any fines or tickets issued while driving a University vehicle. Drivers and passengers must wear safety belts at all times the vehicle is in motion. Any accidents should be reported immediately to local law enforcement and to Safety, Security and Risk Management, (740) 587-0810. Drivers should never leave the scene of the accident until allowed by the proper authorities and should not make any statements regarding the accident, except to the police.

Defensive driving All drivers of Denison University owned, leased, or rented vehicles (including golf carts) are required to successfully complete the Defensive Driving Course and pass a motor vehicle records check to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, staff and vehicles. Students interested in receiving their Denison Defensive Driving certification should allow for at least two weeks to complete the requirements for Defensive Driving (written test, road test and review by Denison’s insurance company).

First, students should review the Defensive Driving Course PowerPoint. Following that review, students must pass the Defensive Driving Course Exam


60 Updated 8.23.12

with a minimum of 82% score. Students meeting this qualification will be notified by Safety, Security and Risk Management via email regarding the next date and time of the scheduled road test. Road tests take place every other Tuesday evening and Friday afternoon during the academic year. Denison’s insurance company will review the applicant’s record and upon successful completion, a Defensive Driving card will be issued.

RepresentinG Denison Every student attending an off-campus activity or conference on behalf of a campus organization is acting as a representative of Denison University. To that end, courtesy and respect for others must be demonstrated at all times. Mature, professional conduct is expected of every individual student and the organization as a whole. Denison prefers that the campus organization advisor or designee attend the conference to provide guidance and support to student delegates. Students and campus organizations are expected to comply with all University policy and expectations, any of the commitments or expectations setup by the professional association/venue hosting the event, along with all state and local laws while attending an off-campus activity or conference. Campus organizations are responsible for any damages or other expenses they incur for which they are found responsible while traveling off-campus (ex: damage to items or cancellation of participation).

Leased Spaces Campus organization closets, cabinets and offices

ampus organizations may request to lease one of the following types of spaces: a cabinet, closet or office. All spaces are in Slayter Union, except for three spaces in Knapp Hall and one in Smith Hall. Space is

at a premium and not all requests can be honored. This section explains the procedures for requesting space, responsibilities and privileges regarding campus organization spaces, along with deadlines.

Assignment of Spaces Organization space is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis taking into account the purpose and frequency with which the organization will use the space. Only registered campus organizations may apply for and be assigned space. Organizations must renew their space requests each academic year.

Requesting SpacE

Organizations must renew their space requests each academic year. Organizations must fill out a Request for Campus Organization Space (Cabinet, Closet, Office) + Lease Agreement + Key Requests form on OrgSync. Only organization presidents (or equivalent) may submit the form, which requires the approval of the campus organization’s advisor before being considered by the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center.

Lease Term Leases generally commence at the start of the academic year (pending receipt of all required information from campus organizations) and terminate no later than Reading and Study Day in May of the academic year. Leases may also be terminated in writing by either the campus organization or the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center at any time. Leases are to be renewed each year at the discretion of the Director of Campus Leadership and Involvement Center.

Section

10 C


62 Updated 8.23.12

Use of Leased Spaces The campus organization leases space from the University solely for official business purposes of the organization. The following items are the responsibility of the organization: routine (daily) cleaning (including carpet vacuuming), moving in/out of the space, damage to the space or furniture, returning the space to its original condition at the termination of the lease, and use and maintenance of the space in a manner that is compliant with University regulations. No University property (unless furnished by the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center) shall be used or stored in leased space (i.e. lounge/hallway furniture, plants, artwork, etc). At no time is the space to be used for personal storage of students and is grounds for immediate termination of the lease. Security of items/possessions is the sole responsibility of the campus organization; proper care should be taken to avoid theft. The University is not responsible for replacement of personal and/or organization possessions. Alcohol and/or empty bottles are not permitted in any leased space at any time. Violation of this policy will result in the immediate termination of the lease.

Office Hours Campus organizations with office spaces are expected to hold and operate a minimum of 10 hours per week; if the space is shared by multiple organizations each occupying organization is responsible for 10 hours respectively. At least three of these hours should be during regular Denison business hours (8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday). Office hours must be submitted to the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center by the second Friday of each semester via the Campus Organization Office Hours form and posted outside office doors. Any changes throughout the semester must be made by submitting an updated version of the Campus Organization Office Hours form. Office hours will be routinely checked by the Campus Leadership and Involvement Center. Space is at a premium for campus organizations and a failure to use leased space may result in termination of the lease.

Space Modifications Any plans for altering leased space must be approved in advance and in writing by the Director of Campus Leadership & Involvement. No alterations to the physical space are permitted, including but not limited to painting offices, altering light fixtures, altering ceiling tiles, or electrical apparatus, fastening any structure to any physical surface in the office, hanging frames/boards, posting paper, etc. without express permission from the Director of Campus Leadership & Involvement. Violating this policy may result in the loss of office space and monetary charges to the organizations or referral to the Office of Student Conduct and Campus Values.

Advisors Support and best practices for campus organization advisors

dvisors are an integral part of any organization. No organization can be officially registered with the Campus Leadership & Involvement Center without an advisor. Advisors serve as liaisons between the

organization and the University community. They serve as a source of knowledge about university policies and procedures. Long-term advisors serve as unofficial historians for the organization, helping to keep a sense of continuity throughout the years.

Functions of an ADvisor Advisors may be called upon to fill many roles within the organization throughout the year. Those roles include mentor, supervisor, and leader

Mentor. Mentoring is a one on one learning relationship between an older person and a younger person based on modeling behavior and an extended, shared dialogue.

Supervisor. There are many similarities between advising and supervising and many of the skills and styles are transferable. There are six stages in supervising that include: team building, performance planning, communication, recognition, self-assessment, and evaluation. These components of supervising can and should be transferred to effective advising.

Leader. One reason many students get involved in groups and organizations is to develop leadership skills and abilities. Organizations should support students in their development through exposure to theory, development of personal values, development of skill sets, exposure to societal issues and overall experience.

Although campus organization leaders may possess a different set of motives for their involvement, advisors provide strategic guidance and direction for the

success of the organization in addition to supporting students throughout the college experience.

Knowledge of Institutional Policies & Procedures One of the biggest responsibilities of an advisor is to serve as a liaison between the institution and the student organization they advise. An important part of this is making sure that the students are taking into account the University’s rules, regulation, policies and procedures when planning an activity. Please refer to Section 13 containing links to these important policies and procedures and also use this manual as a resource.

Commitment Being an advisor for a campus organization is a serious and wonderful commitment. Students look to advisors as a resource and an example. Advisors should make sure they have the time, knowledge, and dedication to take on the role of a campus organization advisor.
