FAQs
What is the difference between Internal, Sponsored and External events?
Internal Events are events that are clearly a 蹤獲扦 department or 蹤獲扦 student group
event. These events may use a number of spaces at 蹤獲扦 free of charge, though fees
may be applied for labor, A/V or cleaning associated with events. Sponsored Events
are events that are co-sponsored or co-hosted between a 蹤獲扦 department and an external
entity. These events are able to book space at the Innovation Partner rate. External
Events are those events that do not meet the criteria for Internal or Sponsored Events.
The external or non-profit/government rental rate will be charged accordingly. Read full policy
