If a Georgia Tech student organization co-sponsors an event with an external partner, the event will be treated as an external event under this policy.
An event is a co-sponsorship if an individual or student organization:
- Advertises the event as co-sponsored by an off-campus person or organization; or
- Operates the event as agent of, or for the benefit of, an off-campus person or organization, except for the solicitation of charitable contributions; or
- Distributes any proceeds of the event to an off-campus person or organization, except for the proceeds of charitable contributions solicited; pays fair market price for goods or services provided to the student organization; or
- Reserves a room or space for the use of an off-campus person or organization.
Co-sponsorship by a student organization requires the following:
- That a member of the student organization be designated and known as the “Institute Host”. The “Institute Host” shall:
- Be responsible for planning the event and preparing the budget that will detail anticipated expenses and revenues.
- Attend the event to ensure that it is conducted properly and Institute policies are followed.
- Become the single point of contact for the external group.
- A contract in the form prescribed by the Institute must be executed between the outside organization and the Institute.
