Guidelines, Policies, & Fees
Facility Rates
See the Banquet & Ballroom Space and Meeting Rooms for information regarding facility setup and rates.
Financial Responsibility
Failure of an organization or individual to meet financial responsibility for damages incurred in a facility during the terms of occupancy, failure of such an organization or individual to reimburse the Union for stipulated and required service, misrepresentation by an authorized representative in regard to a facility reservation request, or failure of officers, members or their guests to observe provisions of these IMU Event Services Policies may subject an organization and its officers as individuals to a denial of further use of facilities, services and programs within control of the Union.
Co-Sponsorship
Registered student organizations and University departments may not reserve space for other organizations for the purpose of lower rates or to extend limitations for reservations as outlined in this document. The organization or individual who holds the reservation must be primarily responsible for planning, implementing, and financing the event. The IMU reserves the right to evaluate and make final determination of appropriate rates. If intentional misrepresentation has occurred, this may result in suspension of reservation privileges in the IMU for the organization that holds the reservation, in addition to being charged the higher of the two rate structures.
Unfulfilled Financial Obligations
Any unfulfilled financial obligation to the IMU may result in loss of reservation privileges, collection agency action, and/or charge to a University MFK account.
Billing Disputes
Billing disputes must be submitted to the IMU Event Services Office, 159 IMU, within ten (10) business days of the event date in order to be reviewed.
Exceptions to any of the guidelines, policies, or fees mentioned in this document require the approval of the IMU Associate Director or his/her designee.
Additional Damage/Cleaning Fees
Customers shall surrender possession of the IMU venue to the IMU at the conclusion of the event in good condition. Customer shall reimburse the IMU for any and all costs the IMU incurs to repair any damage to the venue or other property or equipment arising out of or in connection with the customer’s use of the IMU venue. Customers will also be charged a custodial fee for any post event cleaning that goes above and beyond the standard cleaning time. Additional custodial fees are $25.00 per hour outside of normal cleaning time.
Overdue Invoices
When a university department has not paid all event charges at the end of the fiscal year, a report will be provided to the University Business Office for collection of those debts. Further restrictions on the account may be placed on departments not paying in full for event activities within the fiscal year.
University guests that are 90 days or more overdue will be sent to collections.
