There are three steps.
- Make sure your student organization is registered and in good standing with OASIS Center. Coverage funded by the University is available only for REGISTERED STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
- Obtain a signed Facilities Use Permit (FUP) or other form of facility reservation confirmation from the department in charge of the facility your organization wants to use.
- Go to the CampusConnexions website or call AMBA toll-free at 866.838.9536 between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The third step is necessary only for events with one or more of the following characteristics:
- They are deemed hazardous by the insurer (see the list under the heading "4. Restricted Sports and Events" here)
- The campus department in charge of the facility requires a certificate of insurance.
- They involve more than 5,000 people.
- They are open to the general public.
- They include distribution or sale of food, beverages, or souvenirs worth more than $10,000.
- They include your driving and parking other people's vehicles as part of a valet-like service.
- They require any other use of vehicles that would require insurance.
- They include amusements, such as carnival rides.
- They include inflatables, i.e. bounce houses.
- They involve sports activities
- They include youth participants (under 18 years old)
- They qualify as a Major Event under the campus's Major Event policy.
NOTE: Fraternities and sororities with nationals are now eligible for RSO Event Liability coverage if their event meets the following criteria:
- A written declination of coverage from the national is provided with the application.
- The event is philanthropic or community service-based in nature.
- There is no alcohol exposure.
