This box does not impact your events visibility. Please uncheck this box for events that are members only or require participants to register in advance, such as:
- Events that require registration a week or more prior to the event
- Events that are members only or do not allow registration by everyone
REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Attendance tracking options: For the most accurate attendance tracking utilize the following settings:
- Activate RSVP at the door
- Check-In method for the Kiosk should be set to “Allow both methods” this will allow you to manually enter individuals who can’t check-in via the qr code
EVENT/ACTIVITY REGISTRATION FORM
Selecting the Correct Event Type: Selecting the correct event type ensures that you answer all the pertinent questions necessary to host your event.
- Virtual events/meetings are events hosted completely online
- In-person events/meetings/activities are any gatherings of group members that are in-person. If your event includes travel, please select travel instead.
- Travel is any student organization event that involves carpooling as a form of transportation outside the city limits of Menomonie. Organizations taking shared transportation (i.e. rented vans, personal vehicles, buses, airplanes, trains, etc.) is travel. Org events where all participants get to a destination while walking or drivingÔÇ»on their ownÔÇ»is not a travel event. If traveling, driver authorization is required and may take up to 4 weeks, please plan accordingly.
- Sales or information tabling events are events reserved at the tables provided in the MSC, Price Commons or elsewhere on campus
Overall, we encourage you to be as detailed as possible! Your timely, thorough and accurate submission of the registration form allows for your event to be approved in a timely manner. Keep in mind, making changes to your event after it’s been approved may change your approval status. Making changes at least 24 hours in advance will help us ensure that your event is reapproved and visible in CONNECT.
