A few things to consider when planning your event:
Inclement Weather Plan
Equipment Setup Needs
Tents and Other Items Requiring Stakes:
Amplified Sound
In order to respect the rights of the OSU community, all outside events must comply with campus and City of Stillwater noise regulations. Outdoor events with the potential of disturbing neighbors must conclude by 10:00 p.m. In addition to late night sound curfews, it is also important to consider the acoustic impact that your event might have on campus offices, classrooms, and neighbors during the day and evening. Sound must remain at or below the 70 decibel level.
Food and Beverage on Campus
All outdoor events on the OSU campus planning to distribute and/or sell food or beverage will need to complete a Food-on-Campus Waiver Application and submit to Meeting & Conference Services for approval. You may purchase food and beverages directly through Celebrations Catering on campus in lieu of completing the food waiver.
