Building Usage Policies

It is the policy of the Board of Regents that the facilities of the university are to be used primarily for purposes of fulfilling the mission of teaching, research, and public service. University facilities are not available for unrestricted use for other purposes. To preserve and enhance the primary functions of university facilities, the Board of Regents adopts the following policy to govern facility use on the River Falls campus.

UWS 18.06 RESTRICTED USE OF STUDENT CENTERS OR UNIONS. No person, except members of the student center or union, university faculty and staff, invited guests, and university−sponsored conference groups, may use student center or union buildings and grounds except on occasions when, and in those areas where, the buildings or grounds are open to the general public.

Dean of Students: Nonacademic Misconduct

The chancellor of each institution, in consultation with the appropriate staff and students, shall develop procedures for the administration of this chapter which shall, at a minimum, include the following:

1. Procedures for securing permission to use university facilities.
2. A schedule of the costs and rental fees, if any, assessed for the use of facilities.
3. A description of any institutional limitations concerning the time of availability and manner of the use of institutional facilities.

The chancellor of each institution or their designee shall permit organizations associated with that institution to use university facilities for events for staff and students, where they determine that:

1. The proposed use will not interfere with or detract from the teaching, research, and public service missions of the institution.
2. The institution has appropriate facilities available for the proposed use.
3. The organization seeking to use the facilities has complied with applicable institutional procedures adopted pursuant to the Wisconsin administrative code.
4. Organizations using university facilities under this section may be required to pay rental charges for the use of the facilities if the use is revenue-producing. UWS 21.03
5. Organizations using university facilities under this section may be required to reimburse the institution for the costs if any, incident to the use of the facilities.

The chancellor of each institution or their designee may permit persons, or organizations not associated with that institution, to use facilities at their institution where they determine that:

1. The proposed use is under the sponsorship or at the invitation of an organization associated with the institution.
2. The institution has appropriate facilities available for the proposed use.
3. The person or organization seeking to use the facilities has complied with applicable institutional procedures adopted pursuant to UWS 21.06, Wisconsin Administrative Code.
4. Persons or organizations using university facilities under this section may be required to pay rental charges for the use of facilities if the use is revenue-producing. UWS 21.03
5. Persons or organizations using university facilities under this section must reimburse the institution for the costs if any, incident to the use of the facilities.

University departments and recognized campus organizations may use university facilities on a no-charge basis for those programs that are identified as being part of the direct department/organization mission for the university and are not revenue-producing in nature.

Sponsorship or invitation by a university department/organization is required for the use of any university space by persons or groups from off-campus. The sponsorship of an off-campus group does not release the university department/organization from the responsibility of paying for direct costs and rental fees incurred with the facility being used. Sponsorship duties include direct involvement (planning, organizing, and facilitation) for the event and include the monitoring of the event by the university department/organization.

Individual faculty or staff members associated with the university cannot sponsor an off-campus group. Sponsorship must be from a college, department or recognized faculty/student organization. The purpose of the sponsored event must be part of the direct mission of the college, department or recognized faculty/student organization.

The University Center’s facilities are intended primarily for university groups sponsoring social, recreational, cultural and learning laboratory-type events. They are not available for unrestricted use by non-university groups.

University Center facilities, when available, may be rented for the meetings and activities of a non-university group, but only upon the invitation of, or under the sponsorship of a university department or Recognized Student Organization and only if the use will not interfere with or detract from UWRF’s teaching, research, and public service missions.

When facilities are available to non-university organizations, rates and arrangements are made through the Conference and Event Services Office, 715-425-4484, with support from the University Center staff. Non-university groups must meet the following requirements: 

1. Requests must be submitted at least three business days prior to the use of university space.
2. A contract must be signed by both parties.
3. The deposit or space rental fee must be received prior to the use of university space. The University Center does not allow furniture and/or equipment to be taken outside of the building without prior approval from University Center staff.

The University Center is funded primarily through the collection of segregated fees from the student body. While the students are willing to help and loan out furniture and equipment on very rare occasions where it is in the best interest of all; the students are not willing to subsidize the cost of this service when it should be supported by non-segregated fee funding.

1. Student events of an "all-campus" nature
2. Recognized Student Organization (RSO) events
3. University Center’s staff conferences, meetings and events
4. Faculty/staff/student research and scholarly activities*
5. Outreach programs*
6. Off-campus groups/organizations

*Only academic events that are of a short-term nature and are not regularly scheduled classes that consume the major duration of the semester. Events of a ‘short-term nature’ are defined as no more than three times per semester.

1. Please note that state law strictly prohibits the use of state-owned buildings for political fundraising. Wis. Stat. § 11. 1207. Meetings and events that are political in nature or ones that host political candidates must follow additional guidelines:
2. Requests should be submitted a minimum of three business days prior to the event or meeting date. Submit using the appropriate request form:
   1. RSO-sponsored event: go.uwrf.edu/orgevent
   2. University department-sponsored: go.uwrf.edu/schedule
3. Recognized Student Organizations may sponsor political events within the University Center by following standard University Center scheduling procedures. (e.g., College Democrats, College Republicans, College Greens) Scheduling political events in other campus facilities requires a contract and fee processing.
4. Candidates running for political office must be sponsored. Candidates may also rent space through Conference and Event Services.
5. Neutrality must be maintained in the use of university facilities. Opportunities to use facilities will be equally available to all candidates.
6. Please refer to Universities of Wisconsin Government Relations* for specific regulations pertaining to the following subjects:
   1. The use of university facilities for campaign visits by candidates
   2. Soliciting campaign donations
   3. Posting of signs and other campaign materials
   4. The use of computers and technology to distribute campaign messages
7. Signs or stickers in support of a political candidate may not be posted in classrooms or offices.
   1. UWS 18.08 (9) states "No person may erect, post or attach any signs, posters, pictures or any item of a similar nature in or on any building or upon other university lands except on regularly established bulletin boards." According to a Department of Employment Relations bulletin on state employee political activity, a state employee is prohibited from "the wearing of a political identification while on duty where it could impair the effectiveness of the state agencies' operation."
8. *The University Center follows all Guidance on Political Campaign Activities as published by the Universities of Wisconsin.

1. All reservation requests that comply with the written guidelines will be approved without consideration of the content or viewpoint of the expression so long as the space is available at the time requested.
2. Meeting rooms are locked when not reserved. A reservation must exist for the use of any assigned space.
3. Recognized Student Organizations may request meeting rooms 365 days in advance.
   1. Requests received will be processed on a first-in, first-reserved basis.
   2. Exception: The shared governance process is very important at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Academic Staff Council, University Staff Senate, Faculty Senate and Student Government Association will be allowed to request to schedule meeting room space 18 months in advance.
4. Series reservations are not allowed during final exam week.

5. Recognized Student Organizations are generally not allowed to use space during the summer sessions unless special approval is received from the Recognized Student Organization Coordinator. It is in the best interest of UWRF-segregated fee-paying students to maximize the use of the University Center's facilities during the summer sessions by renting the space to outside groups through Conference and Event Services.
6. Groups in the process of becoming a Recognized Student Organization will be allowed to use a facility as approved by the Recognized Student Organizations Coordinator who will act as a sponsor for the group until it has reached an approved status.
7. If there is a conflict with the requested facility, and the organization representative wants to negotiate with the group that has the facility reserved, the reservationist may release the contact information to the group seeking to use the facility.

General purpose classrooms in Agricultural Science, Centennial Science Hall, Davee Library, Kleinpell Fine Arts, North Hall, South Hall, Wyman Education Building, including the Cooklock Room, North Hall Auditorium, Regional Development Institute conference room, SciTech, and other GPR spaces.

It is expected that groups or departments will only request to reserve those facilities they plan on using for events. It is very important that facilities not be "blocked" just to eliminate competition from other events.

1. Groups or Departments are allowed to book up to two dates per event while still in tentative status.
2. The University Center Director or their designee may block spaces for maintenance, deep cleaning or repairs as needed.

At UW-River Falls, the University Alcohol Beverage Service has been established to provide faculty, staff, alumni, and students an additional social alternative for official functions sponsored by the University. The use of intoxicating beverages with an alcohol contact of more than 0.5% by volume has been regulated by the Board of Regents and the responsibility of this policy is delegated to the Chancellor.

Approval for catering alcohol beverage service is subject to the discretion of the Chancellor or their designee provided that such sales are at suitable times under decorous conditions and meet all provisions of UWS 18.09.

All requests for alcoholic beverage service must be approved by the University Center Director or their designee.

Groups authorized to reserve facilities for activities that will include the consumption of alcohol are as follows:

1. Those student organizations/activities that receive segregated fees
2. Officially Recognized Student Organizations
3. University departments
4. Other organizations as approved by the Chancellor

   1. University facilities cannot be reserved by individuals for private use, except when arranged through the Conference and Event Services Office.

       

Guidelines for those groups requesting alcohol service at events/programs

1. The administration of alcoholic beverage service is the responsibility of the University Center Director or their designee. Once the approval has been granted, no changes to the alcohol request may be made.
2. The University of Wisconsin-River Falls and its food service contractor are the sole providers of alcoholic beverages on campus. The University of Wisconsin System is the holder of the "Special Tax Stamp” which must be displayed whenever alcoholic beverages are being dispensed. The University is legally responsible for paying State and County sales tax and recording all sales.
