APPROVAL/DISAPPROVAL OF ACTIVITIES

The authorizing office may deny the opportunity to conduct an activity for soliciting, material distribution, and advertising on College property because of scheduling conflicts or space not being available on a particular day.  The authorizing office may offer alternative days/times or places.  The Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs is normally responsible for administration of these procedures, and must authorize any exceptions to such, unless stated otherwise.

ASSEMBLIES*

1. The College permits assemblies of LCC groups in the parking lot directly north of the Student Union building, with prior approval (registration). All such assemblies are to be conducted without sound equipment.

2. Any groups desiring to obtain assembly space in any College facility or in open areas, including those referred to in item 1, must submit a written request, to the Vice President of Finance & Operations, who is responsible for coordinating events and calendaring activities.  (Forms are available in the Office of Academic Affairs). 

3. Such a request must be received at least three weeks in advance.  The individual or group requesting space must get signed approval by the appropriate facility supervisors.

4. Groups affiliated with the College shall have priority in reserving space.

5. Nonaffiliated groups and organizations shall pay the current space rental rate for the time and location approved. The Vice President of Student Services will maintain a list of all charges and rental rates. The rates, as approved by the President, shall be designed to cover the cost of providing the facility (i.e., labor, utilities, refreshments, security).

6. In addition, a refundable deposit, or proof of insurance, for damage to property may be required.

7. Normally facility requests appropriately submitted will be completed at least five days prior to the planned event.  It is the responsibility of the requestor to contact the Office of Physical Facilities (2nd floor or Student Union) to confirm availability and approval.

8. Any group whose request for College space is denied shall have the right to appeal that denial to the President provided that the appeal is received within 72 hours before the proposed event.  The President shall render a decision at least 24 hours before the requested event.

* = Assemblies, by definition, includes picketing and demonstration activities.
