Event Planning

On-campus Events
If you would like your students to attend any of the pre-planned on-campus Cultural and/or Transition to Higher Education events, please provide them with the date, time and location. They must bring their StormCards to register in order to receive credit for attending. Please remind students that they are to stay for the entire program in order to receive credit for participating. Any students that leave prior to the completion of the event will be removed from the list. (There is no need to register for the program in advance).

Off-campus Events
For all off-campus events planned by faculty, tickets and transportation information (i.e. Metrocards or time and place for bus transportation) will be provided to the faculty member prior to the event. For programs that are planned by the Department of Student Life, please refer to Using the DNY Events Calendar section.

Event Planning Process
If you are interested in planning a specific event for your class, please complete the following steps to ensure proper planning and execution of your event.

  • Step One
    Complete the Faculty Activity Request Form and return it to the Department of Student Life. A copy of this form can be either accessed by clicking on the link above or can be picked up in the Department of Student Life. All requests must be made three weeks prior to the suggested date of attendance.

  • Step Two
    Student Life will review all requests for cost allocation.

  • Step Three
    Once the form is reviewed and approved, you will be contacted and planning for the event will then take place.

  • Step Four
    Student Life will do any necessary research (i.e. contacting agency, setting up bus transportation – if applicable – for 40 students or more). Metrocards will be provided for small groups or independent outings.

  • Step Five
    Once tickets are received, you will be contacted for pick-up. The dissemination of tickets will be on your behalf. Along with the appropriate tickets, all necessary information/documents will also be forwarded (i.e. Metrocards, subway maps, itinerary for bus transportation, if applicable).

  • Step Six
    Keep a personal record of those students who attended your event.
