Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we need the Campus Recreation and Wellness Department's approval to put on an event?
Due to the higher risk of injury inherent in athletic activities, the University Administration has mandated this policy to ensure the safety of students.
What if your proposed sporting event is not physical in nature?
Non-physical activities may be defined by the Campus Recreation and Wellness as a game - which does not require the approval of Campus Recreation and Wellness.
Is dancing considered a recreational activity?
Yes, however, since dancing has a low risk of injury it does not need to be approved by the Campus Recreation and Wellness . (Unless you are requesting facility usage)
