Use of Space Priorities

Public Facilities

University facilities are public facilities. It is the policy of the University to encourage the use of its facilities on a year-round basis and, where appropriate, to develop an additional source of revenue to support regular programs and service.

Priorities

1. Activities central to University	Degree, certificate and diploma credit classes	All classrooms are booked by the Registrar's Office and have the highest priority
	Student Services Functions	Student orientation Recruitment events Student welcoming events Convocation Campusfest U of L Career Conferences International Dinner
	Board of Governnors Functions	Chancellor's Dinner Board Retreats University Advancement functions Official visits and tours by dignitaries Official openings and ceremonies
	Athletic Events	Pronhorn Athletic games Inter-University Athletic programs
	Theatre and Conservatory	U of L Theatre performances Music conservatory lessons
	Administrative Functions	Information Technology training sessions Internal faculty or department functions and celebrations for University staff Administrative meeting
2. Activites where the goal of the gathering is to extend the focus and mission of the University, both internally and externally	Ratified Clubs	All student events held in the Students' Union Ballroom(s) are subject to the Students' Union charging policies
	Employee Group	AUPE functions APO, Director functions Alumni Association meetings Approved extra-curricular activities sponsored by University departments Faculty Association
	Academic & Professional	Such conferences/meetings are designed for the benefit of all those attending, not for the primary goal of extending the focus and mission of the U of L
3. All activities sponsored by non-University groups	Weddings/Banquets & Special Events	These are obvious external events that have nothing to do with the mission of the university, albeit University students may be the major clients in some instances.
	Miscellaneous Vendors & Cottage Craft Industries	Any event or function sponsored by a vendor for monetary gain will be charged within the regular pricing system Christmas Craft Fair Imaginus
