Student Organizations

The Student Union operates the facility to maximize usage to both the University community (recognized student organizations, faculty, staff and departments) and to the larger community in Boise and in Idaho. The Student Union complies with State Board of Education policies regarding providing facilities to non-University entities and has structured both its internal guidelines and pricing structures to support this goal.

The Student Union is an auxiliary service of Boise State University and is responsible for the operation and maintenance costs of its facilities and staff. Typically, recognized student groups do not pay for meeting rooms to conduct regular student group meetings or business.

To support their fund raising efforts, University recognized student groups may co-sponsor an event, as long as the student organization receives value equal to the waived or reduced costs.

Value may be in the form of cash, registrations, paid advertising, etc. Proof of value received is required prior to the event and must be provided to the Conference Services office.

Additionally, the student organization must take an active role in producing the event or activity (participation by officers, volunteers, promotion, program planning, etc.). An officer of the student organization must be the primary contact for the event (making the reservation, provide details of the event, etc.).

Meetings, events, or conferences sponsored by University recognized student groups where registration fees, tuition, admission or similar fees are charged to the attendees will be subject to the Educational Rates for meeting and event space and as well as other applicable costs.

Student organizations should discuss their event with the University Conference Services office beforehand if they have any questions.
