In order to use UCHC facilities, a request for authorization from the Office of Student Affairs must be made at least two weeks prior to the event by obtaining, completing and returning a Social Event Request Form. At any event where liquor and money (admission cost/sale of drinks, etc.) are in combination, there must be a temporary liquor permit. Details on the permit may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs.
