Event Attendence Policy

As found in the Ram's Eye View Student Handbook, page 28

Purpose:

A wide variety of programs and activities such as dances, lectures, and recreational events are held to provide social enrichment for the students enrolled at West Chester University. These programs may be sponsored by students, faculty, and/or staff. Individuals not enrolled in the University are permitted to attend most University functions as "invited guests." The "Event Attendance Policy" is intended to serve as a guide for student events where "invited guests" or the community-at-large is welcome.

Attendance:

Advertising and promotional materials will define who is invited to attend an activity or event. This information will include attendance limitations, if any, by the sponsoring group or organization.

Minors (16 years and under) must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, WCU student, faculty, or staff member who will assume full responsibility for their behavior and compliance to University policy. These polices may relate to specific guidelines and attendance limitations as listed on advertising and/or promotional materials. For these events IDs, verifying age, will be required and checked at the door. Sponsoring groups are responsible for checking IDs at the door.

The University reserves the right to restrict attendance if there is a concern of safety or the welfare of the University is in question. Attendance approval will be treated on a case-by-case basis, at the time of the room reservation, through the office of the director of Sykes Union.
