Reserving Tents & Canopies
If an event you are planning requires a tent or canopy, a permit or charge may be required. Below are the criteria and reasons.
A permit is required for any tent larger than 200 sq. ft. (approximately 10x10). The cost of a permit is $175. If the tent is larger than 200 sq. ft., other requirements, limits or restrictions may apply. When setting most tents the use of stakes are required to hold the tent up via tie down ropes. This can lead to potential problems with underground utilities. Therefore the area need to be “toned” (checked) with a device that will locate any underground utilities.
If there is electric of any kid, (extension cord, lights, fans, etc.) attached to or hanging from the tent there is an electrical permit required. The cost of an electric permit is $175.00.
If you have any questions contact Mike Creager, Project Manager, at 9-0184.
Student Organization Bulk Mailings
Student organizations who want to “mass mail” letters to parents and/or students via the Miami mailroom must have those letters approved for content through the Office of Student Activities & Leadership. Once the mailing is approved the University Mail Services Office will post and mail.
If a group is doing a fundraiser through the mail room an Event Planning Form must be submitted to register the event with our office. The letter being sent must include the name of the organization and the name and contact information for the person responsible for event.
