Steps to Event Planning

1. Complete thePre-Event Planning Form Online:http://maroonlink.tamu.edu. Please note that the pre-event planning form should not be thefirst step in your event planning process. This form serves as a summary of the risk management and planning you have done to ensure your event is going to be well-executed, safe, and in compliance will all university and council policies.
2. Your faculty/staff advisor must review the form.Upon your completion of the form, your faculty/staff advisor will receive an email notification that you have submitted a pre-event planning form. Your advisor must then log into Student Activities Online to review the form and denote that he/she has done so by providing their initials on said form. This review is required by Texas A&M University Student Rule 42.5 which states, “It is expected that all student organizations will have their events, whether on or off campus, reviewed by their university advisor(s).” I would encourage you to speak with your faculty/staff advisor about the review process. For some of your advisors, they may still want to meet in person to review the event even thoughthe formhas been submitted online, for others they may want to discuss your event via phone, and for others, theymay be comfortable simply reviewing online.
