Transylvania University

Facility Use Procedure and Policy for Outside Groups

All outside facility reservations must adhere to this community standard, to Transylvania University’s individual

facility requirements and to the university’s policies upheld by the cabinet of the president.

PROCEDURE:

Requesting outside organizations must have a Transylvania host for any event on Transylvania property as outlined

in the Facilities Use Request Form – Outside Organizations at the end of this document. A Transylvania host can be

any University faculty member or staff representative – with department affiliation for the requested event. If there

is no appropriate host, please contact the Office of Marketing and Communications.

To reserve a Transylvania University facility for an event, you must first contact your Transylvania host or the

Office of Marketing and Communications to see if the venue and date are available.

All facility managers (listed in Appendix A) will confirm with you that your event has been submitted to the events

calendar.

POLICY

1.0 Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to set forth the conditions under which Transylvania University facilities

may be used by persons or organizations for an event. The primary use of any Transylvania University facility shall

be for purposes related to the University’s mission. The instructional, research and service needs of the University

shall take precedence over any other prospective use of University facilities. There may be additional policies

specific to certain facilities or for specific events, and they may include more restrictive provisions than this policy.

Persons or organizations seeking to use any University facility are advised to inquire about the existence of any such

additional policies at the time they reserve its use.

1.1 The following issues are considered when use of Transylvania University facilities is requested by an outside

organization:

• Providing ample space and time for Transylvania students, faculty and staff

• Creating positive exposure of Transylvania’s campus.

• Being a good community partner.

• Being aware of the wear on the facility.

• Generating additional income for the University.

• Keeping a safe environment for all constituents.

1.2 Facilities with additional policies include (but not limited to) Clive M. Beck Athletic and Recreation Center, the

Mitchell Fine Arts Center, and the William T. Young Campus Center.

2.0 Applies to: This policy applies to any and all facilities owned, leased or under the authority of Transylvania

University, including all facilities on the main campus, as well as all facilities at other locations. “Facilities” shall

include all buildings and structures, grounds, sidewalks, recreation areas and streets considered part of the campus of

the University. University facilities are divided into two general categories: publicly available facilities and

instructional facilities.

2.1 Publicly Available Facilities are those facilities, which the University makes available for use by individuals,

and groups that are not otherwise affiliated with Transylvania University. A list of these facilities may be viewed at

Appendix A. Any approved individual or group, including Transylvania University students, faculty and staff, may

reserve and use the facilities for any lawful purpose that align with section 1.1. There may be a fee associated with

the use of any publicly available facility. Information regarding fees and reservations for these facilities can be

obtained by contacting the individual listed in Appendix A. Please note that many of these facilities have specific

restrictions as to occupancy, hours of use, etc., and may not be available or suitable for every requested use. Use of

alcohol at any event at a publicly available facility is subject to University policies, as stated below in section 3.2 of

this policy.

2.2 Instructional Facilities are those facilities of the University that are not publicly available during the academic

year and are only available to Transylvania University students, faculty, and staff and officially recognized

University organizations. Use of these facilities shall be restricted to activities related to the instructional, research

and service missions of the University. During non-instruction periods of the year, some instructional facilities may

be used (on a space-available basis) by non-affiliated groups holding summer programs on campus provided. Such

use is approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the University.

2.3 Procedures for the Use of Transylvania University Facilities: Requests for the use of Transylvania University

facilities are to be submitted via the Facilities Use Request Form - Outside Organizations (included in this policy)

by the Transylvania host to the facility manager for the requested site. Any outside group without a host may submit

their request through the Office of Marketing and Communications. Hosts should check with the facility manager

when making reservations to ensure all requirements are met. The completed Facilities Use Request Form should

be submitted no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated use. Submission of the form does not guarantee

permission for use of the facilities requested. Requests within 30 days of the scheduled event may be considered as

space allows.

Generally, competing requests for use of a facility will be resolved on a “first-come, first-served” basis; however,

exceptions may be made at the discretion of the facility manager (and their cabinet member when necessary),

following the order of:

. Academics/Athletics

2. Office of the President

3. Cabinet of the President

4. Department chairpersons

5. Student organizations and

6. Outside (non-Transylvania affiliated) requests

Upon

completion of the Facility Use Request Form, the cabinet member for the Transylvania Host must grant first

approval of the request. The final approval for all facility requests is then granted or denied by the Vice President for

Finance and Business.

2.4 Department consultations: If the facility space is available, and the event has been approved (the requirements of

the event are satisfactory), the organization representative and Transylvania University host shall meet (in person, by

phone or by email) to determine the details of the event (i.e. set-up, equipment needs, staff needs and teardown).

• The Department of Public Safety will be consulted regarding parking and security issues prior to the

approval of any activity that may generate security or parking management concerns or needs. Facility use

may be denied based on parking and security issues.

• The Facilities Management department will be consulted regarding setup and operational needs prior to

the approval of any outside group using the facility.

• University Food Service is available for catering and/or meal accommodations for event attendees on

campus during dining hours. Third party caterers may be used on campus.

• Organizations should n

otify their Transylvania University host if Internet/wireless access is needed. This

should also be indicated on the request form.

• Any programs being held for fundraising purposes must be approved by both the Vice President for

Advancement and the Vice President for Marketing and Communications.

.0 Compliance of University Policies: All groups using Transylvania University facilities must follow

University policies, which can be found online at www.transy.edu/newsroom/communications/policies, which

includes:

• Canvassing by Non-Transylvania Groups

• Free Speech and Demonstration Policy

• Weapons-Free Campus Policy

• Alcohol Policy

• Dro

ne and Unmanned Aircraft Policy

.1 Transylvania University is a Tobacco Free Campus: In hopes of promoting a healthier environment and to

reduce second-hand smoke exposure, Transylvania University has adopted a policy that prohibits smoking in public

indoor and outdoor areas of campus. The policy includes the use of all tobacco products, both smoking and

smokeless.

• All indoor and outdoor University owned areas.

• All University owned parking lots. Smoking in personal vehicles is prohibited if that vehicle is on

University owned property.

• The policy will be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week and applies to all faculty, staff and

students as well as all contractors, visitors and other non-employees. All persons must be willing to openly

communicate when a person is in violation. The concept of self-reporting can only succeed with some form

of stated guidelines and/or procedures. The following guidelines are in place to respond to violations of the

tobacco policy:

o Faculty/Staff – If a faculty or staff member is violating the policy, a complaint will be filed with

Human Resources (HR).

o Student – If a student is violating the policy, he/she will be reported in writing to the Office of

the Dean of Students.

o Visitors – Building supervisors and event planners will be responsible for communicating the

policy to all visitors. Failure to comply could result in removal from the campus.

3.2 Terms of Use: Certain restrictions must be imposed on users of campus facilities to protect the university’s

primary functions, public image, institutional integrity and/or tax-exempt status:

• Tax Considerations: The University will comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations.

• Promotional Disclaimer: Users may not state or imply university sponsorship or endorsement of their

activities without the university’s consent. Promotional material and advertising for non-university

sponsored activities must include the following disclaimer – “this is not a Transylvania University

program”.

• Filming/Photography: The filming and/or photography of activities or facilities on campus for external

use purposes requires prior approval by the VP of Marketing and Communications. A fee may be charged

for such filming and/or photographing (See Appendix D).

• General Conditions: University rules and regulations must be respected and followed by all users of

facilities. These rules include but are not limited to the following:

o Users may not engage in activity that interferes with the university’s programs and freedom of

movement by the campus community.

o Users must communicate with university representatives in an appropriate, professional manner.

• Alcoholic beverages may not be served or consumed in university facilities unless approved in advance

by the university and where an appropriate state liquor permit and $1,000,000 insurance coverage (with

liability) has been obtained. (See Appendix B)

• Traffic and parking regulations are in effect at all times.

• Skateboards, bikes, scooters or hover boards are not permitted inside any campus facility. Hover boards

are not permitted anywhere (inside or outside) on campus.

.0 TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY FACILITY USE POLICY is used in addition to policies of Clive M. Beck

Athletic and Recreation Center, the Mitchell Fine Arts Center, and the William T. Young Campus Center. Other

facilities may have additional policies and will be available via their specific facility manager.

Organizations/individuals who do not comply with the above-stated policies may not be granted additional access

to Transylvania facilities in the future.

I have reviewed and agree to act in full compliance of the Facility Use Procedure and Policy of Transylvania

University.

Transylvania University Alcohol Policy

I. Introduction

This document establishes the University's policies and procedures for using, serving, and selling

alcoholic beverages on property owned, leased, or controlled by the University, and at University events.

The goal of this alcohol policy is to ensure prudent and safe use of alcoholic beverages in compliance

with state laws and University policy and in keeping with the University principles of respectful behavior

and civility as well as the educational mission to promote responsible behavior regarding the service and

consumption of alcoholic beverages.

The intent of the policy is that those who consume alcohol appreciate the potential consequences and

those who serve alcoholic beverages at University functions or in University facilities understand their

responsibilities and the liability issues attendant to alcohol use.

The University is committed to providing a healthy and safe workplace for all members of the University

community. The possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages is controlled by Kentucky law, local

ordinances, and University regulations. All members of the University community shall abide by these

laws and regulations.

The oversight, implementation, and enforcement of this policy is delegated to the Vice President for

Finance and Business, who in turn may delegate these responsibilities to other University offices or

officials as appropriate. The Vice President for Finance and Business has delegated approval of events

involving the presence of students at events involving alcohol to the Vice President for Enrollment and

Student Life.

Specific alcohol related policies and procedures for issues related to employees are found in Employee

Manual. Specific alcohol related policies and procedures related to students and student organizations are

found in the Student Handbook

II. Entities Affected

This policy applies to all members of the University community, including faculty, staff, students, and

Being under the influence of alcohol shall not be considered a mitigating factor for an individual’s

behavior.

E. Registered student organizations shall comply with University regulations and with state and local laws

regarding the conduct of members and guests at all times. For social occasions, student organizations

shall abide by all guidelines published by the Dean of Students. During social events, student officers

V. Serving and Sales of Alcoholic Beverages

A. The Vice President for Finance and Business or appropriate member of the President’s cabinet may

authorize the serving or sale of alcoholic beverages on University property or at University events,

provided that such use does not violate any law or University regulation and meets all of the requirements

of this policy. Written requests shall be directed to Vice President for Finance and Business or appropriate

member of the President’s cabinet with oversight of the event. Any desired exception to the University

alcohol policy should be directed to the respective cabinet member and then forwarded to the Vi

President for Finance and Business for final review. The Vice President for Finance and Business may

consult with the Risk Management Advisory Committee or the President in making the determination

whether to approve or deny the exception request.

the facility, and reservations are subject to University regulations on facilities.

3. Events held in one of the facilities or areas listed in Section VI below or inside another

specifically designated and approved space; and

D. A third party caterer officially licensed and in good standing with the Kentucky Alcohol Beverage

Control Board must be responsible for the serving and sale of the alcoholic beverages on University

property or at University events. The caterer shall be insured for the event either through a rider to a

existing policy or through the purchase of event insurance coverage. Such coverage shall include naming

of the University as an additional insured party and shall be in an amount determined by the Vice

President for Finance and Business.

E. The sponsor of the event and the licensed, insured caterer shall take affirmative and appropriate steps

to ensure that persons under the age of twenty-one (21) are not served alcohol.

and required deposit by date specified on rental agreement in order to avoid penalties and/or cancellation. The

deposit is non- refundable. If the University closes (i.e., inclement weather) and the event is cancelled, no charges

requires prior approval by the Communication department and Athletic Compliance department.

4. General Conditions: University rules and regulations must be respected and followed by all users of facilities.

These rules include but are not limited to the following:

a. Users may not engage in activity that interferes with the university’s programs and freedom of movement by the

campus community.

Additional Terms of Agreement

Admission/Gate Receipts: Transylvania reserves the right to keep admission fees (i.e., gate receipts, tickets) or join

in a sharing revenue opportunity (i.e., percentage of total gate) with Lessee. If this option is exercised by

Transylvania it will be outlined in the rental agreement noted as yes with the percentage share that is due

Transylvania at end of event.

Medical Requirement: Medical staff shall be required for all athletic based events at Lessees’ expense unless own

coverage is provided and rights to medical coverage provided by the University are waived. This must be waived

prior to the event.

Finalized Agreement: Upon receiving a finalized agreement with deposit and certificate of insurance, Transylvania

will lock the dates for the Lessee and finalize the agreement. The agreement may specify dates that penalties will be

charged as well as when the agreement is null and void thus releasing the space.

Lessee may not assign this agreement in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Transylvania. No acts

performed, or representation made by Lessee with respect to third parties shall be binding on Transylvania.

Only the facility and spaces that have been contracted with Transylvania University are permissible for use. Guests

and spectators are not to utilize the cardio equipment or weight room equipment or any other space that is not

contracted at any time during the event.

Cancellations: If Lessee cancels the event/activity without a fourteen-day advance notice, Transylvania may hold

Lessee liable for all fees related to the event/activity.

Transylvania, or its designated agents, shall have the right to terminate this agreement without penalty for breach by

Lessee or when required due to causes beyond the control of Transylvania such as acts of God or damage or

destruction to its facilities.

Due to University events that may arise during the school year, we reserve the right to cancel, postpone, or change

the time of your event/activity with at least one-week prior notice.

Damages: Any damages to facility or equipment within facility will be the sole responsibility of the Lessee who will

be invoiced accordingly.

Payment: Payments are required as specified in the contract. Any payments not received within timeframe as

outlined, may suspend or permanently restrict the lessee from further Transylvania University rental agreements.

limited to set-up, tear down, security, ushers, ticket takers, EMS, athletic trainers, traffic and parking, janitorial

services, electronic services, electrical services, scoreboard services, physical plant services, sports information

services, ticket office services, equipment rental and administration fees. Event operation expenses will not be

reduced or waived.

be on duty for all rentals. If the University determines additional custodial or other personnel are required, the

applicant will be charged accordingly.

Security: If the University determines that security is required for an activity, at least one law enforcement officer

must be on duty at all times designated by the University. If additional law enforcement personnel are required, the

applicant will be charged accordingly.

Setup: If the setup requires additional hours to reserve the facility, these hours will be billed to the Lessee and will

include the cost for a Facility Manager to be present. If the setup changes from the execution of the agreement,

Lessee will be responsible for all additional costs.

In trying to manage to these issues, the Athletics Staff has developed the following rental rates and services below.

Appendix D

Photographing and Recording On Campus by an Outside Organization

General Policy: Transylvania University is a private university. Transylvania’s express permission is required for

any recording or photography on Transylvania-owned lands by:

• News professionals

• Professional or commercial photographers, videographers and filmmakers

• Campus visitors taking pictures or filming for commercial purposes or using a commercial or professional

photographer or filmmaker

• Anyone taking wedding or portrait photography

Personal photos may be taken by students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and other campus visitors so long as (i)

they are used exclusively for personal non-commercial purposes, (ii) the taking of such photos is consistent with this

policy, including the wedding and portrait photography policy below and (iii) they do not interfere with the ongoing

operations of the university. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the university reserves the right to prohibit any

recording or photography on its lands for any reason, including if the recording or photography creates the potential

for: (i) disruption of academic, research, business or student activities; (ii) damage to (or alteration of) university

property, educational mission or reputation; (iii) inappropriate use of the Transylvania name, marks or image; (iv)

disruption of traffic, parking or pedestrian pathways; (v) other safety hazards; or (vi) violations of the university’s

privacy policies.

News-related recording and photography: Transylvania University’s Office of Marketing and Communications

accommodates reasonable requests for journalistic, news- related, non-commercial shooting, but reserves the right to

deny permission when the request runs contrary to university policies – especially those that ensure student privacy.

The subject of all news-related filming or photography must be directly related to the university. General rules for

journalists:

• Journalists must adhere to the university’s

privacy policies. No one at Transylvania can be filmed

without his or her permission, except at public events to which the public and media have been invited.

• Permission to shoot news-related photography or filming in interior spaces is required in all

circumstances. This includes administration and office buildings, classrooms, laboratories, dormitories,

dining facilities and residences.

• Journalists are prohibited from parking satellite trucks anywhere on campus without permission from the

Transylvania’s Office of Marketing and Communications for news purposes or Transylvania Athletics for

sporting events.

• All journalists working at Transylvania are expected to carry appropriate credentials.

Non-news

recording or photography: Transylvania prohibits the use of its land and buildings for commercial and

marketin

g-related photography and filming without expressed permission. The use of Transylvania’s campus for

such

purposes is subject to recording/photography fee of $2,500 for 8 hours of recording/photography and $1,250

for four hours

of recording/photography (lesser hours can be negotiated based upon this rate). Transylvania’s

Office of Mark

eting and Communications will consider waiving the fee for recording/photographing that involves,

for instance, photography accompanying articles or the creation

of not-for-profit television shows, movies,

ocumentaries or educational-related projects, providing the subject matter is related, in some manner, to

Transylvania.

Additionally, commercial

photography and filming related to the marketing of companies and organizations other

than Transylvania is prohibited on university-owned lands. Such activities are incompatible with the university’s

non-profit status and long-standing policies prohibiting endorsement or the appearance of endorsement.

Non-news related requests

should be made in writing at least ten business days in advance by emailing the Vice

President for Marketing and Communications at news@transy.edu. Requests must include the following

information:

• Name and description of the organization or individual making the request.

• Name, office and email address of the Transylvania University individual or organization involved in the

filming or photography.

• Project description, including the context and way in which Transylvania is to be portrayed and the

intended use of the resulting material.

• Date(s) requested.

• Time and duration of proposed shoot.
