海角破解版 seeks to ensure the safety and security of it鈥檚 students and student organizations. The travel policy is developed for both travel sponsored by the university as well as independent from sponsorship but the organization is traveling on behalf of, or with the financial support of, the university and it鈥檚 student organizations.

The student organization must develop a 鈥渢ravel summary鈥� where they will specify the details of the travel they wish to pursue. Items included in the travel summary include but are not limited to; the purpose of the travel, the itinerary, lodging, transportation, and contact information, and a list of all the participants. The Office of Student Engagement reserves the right to ask for additional information to supplement the travel summary.

If students are traveling on behalf of a specific college within the university, then an administrator from the college must also approve the travel summary in conjunction with the Office of Student Engagement. Students should not be approved to travel to places that could pose an undue risk to the students. Additionally, students should not travel to places with a U.S State Department Travel Ban or a country where the U.S State Department has issued a mandatory evacuation order. Additionally, students should be able to provide any additional documentation necessary to travel such as a passport, updated immunizations, etc. Students should be informed ahead of time that 海角破解版 does not provide medical insurance for students participating in travel. Student鈥檚 will be responsible for any medical costs as a result of travel. Additionally, friends and family of any student, faculty, or staff member are not able to participate in student travel.

University- and/or student-sponsored activities shall not be scheduled during the final examination period or one calendar day prior to the final examination week. Included are all cultural, athletic, and extracurricular activities. Appeals for exceptions to and interpretations of this policy shall be made to the Council on Admission, Graduation and Academic Standards (CAGAS) -- if there are unusual circumstances surrounding a given event.

On a number of occasions, different departments and organizations on campus wish to show a film as part of a class or as a program. However, when we show movies on campus, there are a number of laws people are unaware of that we must follow.

Even though in many instances, we are not charging people to see these films, we are still obligated to make sure that we have secured and paid for the proper licenses to show movies on campus. If we do not, we may be putting both ourselves and the University at risk.

To help educate the University community on those laws, we would like to share with you the following frequently asked questions about public performance rights.

What are Public Performance Rights?

Public Performance Rights are the legal rights held by distributors or producers over the showing of a film outside of one's home. The rights-holder can grant others the temporary right to show the film by selling them or granting them a Public Performance License.

When do I need to obtain a Public Performance License?

Any time a film is shown outside a person's personal home, the screening is considered "public". It does not matter if admission is charged or if the entity screening the film is a non-profit organization, school, or library.

If the film is being shown outside the home, it is considered "public".

What about the "Teaching Exemption"?

The Copyright Act allows films to be screened in face-to-face teaching situations, defined by specific criteria. To be eligible for the teaching exemption, the screening is limited to students who are enrolled in a class in which the film is a part of systematic mediated instructional activities, the instructor is present, and the screening is an integral part of the classroom session. Playing films for the department,for honors students, or as a "film series" or lecture series does not qualify for the teaching exemption, but requires a Public Performance License.

I bought a tape or DVD from the distributor for my school or library. Does it include Public Performance Rights?

Most tapes are sold without Public Performance Rights, but some tapes or DVDs are sold with limited Public Performance Rights. They may enable you to play the tape for its lifetime in public screenings on your campus. However, you may not copy the tape or lend the tape to other institutions or organizations, or charge admission for the screenings you hold with that tape. These rules may vary, so check carefully with the distributor when purchasing.

How can I obtain a Public Performance License for my screening?

Performance licenses can be obtained by ordering movies through a reputable film company. The price the company charges will include the performance license. One of the companies that we use frequently is SWANK Motion Pictures, Inc. but there are several other movie distribution companies that can be used. Below is a list of their phone numbers and websites:

Swank Motion Pictures 800-876-5577 http://www.swank.com

Criterion Pictures 800-890-9494 http://www.criterionpicusa.com

New Yorker Films 212-645-4600 http://www.newyorkerfilms.com

If you are interested in ordering a movie, you can contact one of the companies directly by using the above contact information or if you need additional assistance, you can contact the Office of Student Engagement at 309-298-3232.

Isn't it cheaper to just rent a movie from a video store or to stream one from a service (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc)?

Renting or purchasing a movie from a film company is more expensive than renting, buying or streaming a video. On average, the cost to rent or buy a movie from a movie company can be anywhere from $400-$700 depending on the movie, the number of showings, etc. However, when you rent, buy, or stream a video, you are not buying the rights to show it in a public setting. You cannot stream a video in a public format.

All streaming services are currently licensed for personal use only. Which means no public showings allowed without permission from the broadcaster.

All copyrighted material must be either in public domain or have a single use license from a company like Swank or Criterion.

Netflix does allow for some educational screenings of their original documentaries within some strict but reasonable parameters. You can't charge admission or use it as a fundraiser, you need to stream from a subscriber's account, and you cannot advertise/imply a sponsorship or collaboration with Netflix for your event. Info on that can be found here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57695

Can I have an event and show a sporting event on television?

Live Television events including Sports can be viewed in public for free, no license required. Recast of live sporting events need a license or letter of consent from broadcaster. The caveat is no money can be exchanged for viewing. Meaning no charging for entering the event.

Located on the first floor of the University Union, Scheduling and Event Services can assist student organization presidents and/or advisors with the following: reserving rooms and audiovisual equipment for organizational meetings on the 海角破解版 Macomb Campus; events and special events; reserving space and tables in the concourse; outdoor events, and non-athletic events in Western Hall and on Hanson Field.

Registered student organizations are limited to no more than two (2) meeting rooms per week with a four (4) hour time limit for routine weekly activities with each individual meeting lasting no longer than three (3) hours. Additional space can be requested one week in advance, pending availability - no more than an additional three hours per week.

Weekly Meetings can be made for the both Fall and Spring semesters beginning on April 15th (or the closest business day) of the previous school year, unless the meeting is listed on the Priority Meeting list.

A 鈥淣O SHOW鈥� is designated by failure of the organization to be present 15 minutes after the scheduled time of the event. A no-show charge of $20.00 per meeting will be assessed if a group does not use the room reserved and does not cancel the reservation in advance. If extra setup is necessary and the group fails to use the room, Scheduling and Event Services reserves the right to assess a greater charge.

The Union Supervisor鈥檚 report will be used to determine if the organization utilized the room. There will be NO exceptions to this policy, so it is in the organization鈥檚 best interest to check with the Night Supervisors if there is any question regarding room usage. Should you arrive and find there are insufficient members to hold a meeting, you should contact the Union Supervisor and inform that person that you did not utilize the room. Time changes of a meeting must be cleared through Scheduling & Event Services. The organization is expected to utilize the rooms only at the times scheduled. Should you have a problem with your room, please contact the Union Supervisor.

Any group canceling a meeting should contact Scheduling & Event Services during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm). If a meeting needs to be canceled after business hours (8am-4:30pm) the organization must inform the Service Center of the cancellation, this message will be relayed to both Operations and Scheduling & Event Services staff so a no show fee will not be assessed. Emails or phone messages sent to the Scheduling Office after business hours to cancel an event or meeting will not be honored.

If a registered student organization schedules a room (facility) and allows a non-registered group to use that room (facility), the group who scheduled the room will lose its scheduling privileges for one full semester.

Any event that is co-sponsored must be booked in the name of both groups and both sponsors must be in good standing 鈥� at the time of booking and at the time of the event.

The person/organization scheduling the use of the facility shall be held financially responsible for any damage resulting to the building or equipment as a result of maliciousness and/or negligence on the part of any participant.

All individuals and groups are expected to follow the itinerary scheduled for their particular events. Other groups may be using the facilities prior to or following your scheduled event.

For information about scheduling the "B-Room", please reference the Office of Student Engagement Policy Manual

Registration is reviewed annually by the Office of Student Engagement (OSE). All existing RSOs will need to follow the same re-registration timeline as outlined in this document.

The OSE reserves the right to withhold registration of any organization. Some semesters might include a quick officer update.

Process for Registration of Existing Organization:

• Follow registration guidelines for student organizations

Process for Registration of New Organizations:

• A fraternity or sorority desiring establishment as a registered Social Greek Letter Organization must follow the 海角破解版 Expansion and Colonization Procedures available from the Assistant Director for Greek Life Programs.
• Then the registration guidelines for student organizations outlined on pages 4-9 must be followed.

The Sport Club system is designed by students to develop their leadership and organizational skills in an activity of personal interest to them. It is also the intent for participants to have fun while participating in what will hopefully become lifelong leisure activities. Campus Recreation, in turn, provides support for sport clubs with qualified administrators who assist students with facilities, financial support, and a sport club structure that is consistent from year to year.

As with all clubs, University registration is completed through OSE in addition to registering with Campus Recreation. Club members elect student officers, and the club is charged with writing and implementing a constitution and recruiting new members.

Sport Clubs follow the registration guidelines for student organizations. Campus Recreation advises and administers funds to sport clubs. It is the responsibility of each sport club to contact Campus Recreation at (309) 298-1228.

All scheduling of table tent inserts in the University Union shall be coordinated by Scheduling and Event Services on a first come, first serve basis. A total of two table tent inserts will be allowed to be scheduled consecutively in the Food Court and Murray St. Caf茅 areas. One side of the table tent insert is limited to programming taking place in the University Union. The remaining side will be reserved for programming taking place elsewhere on the 海角破解版 campus or for registered student organization or departmental recruitment efforts. All table tent inserts must be promoting programming taking place on the 海角破解版 campus.

A "No Show Fee" of $20 will be charged to the sponsoring organization if the scheduled table tent is not submitted to Scheduling and Event Services by the end of the workday the Friday prior to the reservation. Organizations who receive two "No Show Fees" for failure to submit table tents by the specified deadline within an academic year will not be permitted to schedule any more table tents within that academic year.

Please reference the Office of Student Engagement Policy Manual for complete information on the table tent policy.
