Important Information - Please Read! 
Deadline for Submitting Event Forms  
Beginning Wednesday, October 1st the Office of Student Activities will not accept any late event request forms for events on campus. Instead, our office will contact you to select a later date to hold your event and resubmit your form. We have allowed a generous grace period at the start of the school year as groups learned and navigated our procedures for reserving space and holding events on campus.
For regular events (not considered special in nature), forms are always due Monday at 4pm the week BEFORE your event. Special events require forms to be submitted to our office at least ONE MONTH in advance.

You can see these dates on our website here. It is also written on top of the form you complete as well as covered multiple times in our Student Activities Orientations session we require all groups to attend.
Student organization leaders: please share and reiterate this information to those in your group(s) who will be completing our forms so that you can get forms in on time.
If you have any questions, please email us at
student.activities@usm.edu.

SGA Judicial Board Updates
 
*Ticketing* 
* Students get one warning per academic year (e.g. if a student parks in faculty and staff, they will first get a warning during their first offense but on the second offense, he or she will get a monetary ticket
* All reserved areas (e.g. handicap, special parking, mandatory tow zones, fire zones, tow away zones, service zone) -> AUTOMATIC TICKET (Boot or tow)

*Temporary Decals* 
* It is important for students to get a temporary decal if: (a) something has happened to their car with their original decal (e.g. residential, commuter, village)
* To go further in-depth, if a student's car received damage from a car accident or weather incident, a friend, family member or someone else is currently driving his or her, car in the shop, etc, the student must get a temporary decal.
* Starting this year, 2014-15, students must now purchase temporary decals. Prices vary. For 10 days, students will have to pay $10. For 15 days, $15, 20 days = $20.
* If students do not have a car registered with Parking Management, they should get a visitor's decal. (NOTE: One visitor pass per semester. After one pass, you must come to the Department of Parking Management to purchase a temp.)
