By Outside Organizations
(For Meetings & Events Not Sponsored by the College)
07/15/2004
Our philosophy We seek to accommodate all civic agencies, non-profit groups and for-profit corporations whenever possible as long as:
The content of the event is in keeping with the mission of the college: As a statewide open-access, community college, Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana provides residents of Indiana with professional, technical, transfer and lifelong education for successful careers, personal development, and citizenship. Through its affordable, quality education programs and services, the College strengthens Indianas economy and enhances its cultural development.
- The purpose of the event is not primarily political in nature.
- The facilities are not used for commercial activities involving the direct sale of goods or services.
- The event does not compete with College-sponsored programs.
- The use of the facilities does not unreasonably impede or interfere with College operations. Primary consideration for use of the College facilities will be given to College-related activities.
Your responsibilities
- Applicants must submit their request for use of College facilities no later than 30 days prior to the scheduled date of the event. The College reserves the right to refuse requests after that time for that reason alone.
- Event sponsors shall be responsible for the activities and attendees of their event.
- The costs resulting from damage to property, theft or loss of equipment or supplies arising from the occupancy of any portion of the facility shall be charged to the events sponsor. All equipment used shall be returned to its original state.
- Use of alcohol or other intoxicants is strictly prohibited. Use of tobacco is prohibited in our buildings and on our grounds except for designated outdoor areas only.
- The activities of the event shall be restricted to the areas indicated on the request.
- Moving, removing or any rearranging of any furniture, equipment or other Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana property for your event must be coordinated through the Facilities Manager of the campus. For safety and security reasons this generally means that all such actions must be done by our facilities staff.
- If the College is closed for any emergency, all scheduled use of campus facilities shall be automatically cancelled. College closings are broadcast through the local media. The College shall not be held liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from the cancellation or early termination of an event due to an emergency closing of the campus.

- Non-profit organizations may be required to prove their exact IRS tax status.
- A reply to the requesting organization will be made in as timely a manner as possible.
- The request may be approved contingent on agreement on usage fees or other requirements specific to the event in question.

- In the event that Ivy Tech classes are cancelled due to weather or other emergency, the event also will be cancelled.
