The following are charges for student use of facilities when admission is charged. Each group requesting space must provide an account budget number on the online space request form or pay these charges in advance of the event.

Facility  Charge Special Considerations

  1. Additional charges may be levied when services are requested from Facilities Management, the Winthrop University Police Department or a Space Use Manager. Any question about whether such services are needed must be negotiated before the event. It is the event organization's (faculty, staff, students) responsibility to make arrangements with Facilities Management, the Winthrop University Police Department, and the Space Use Manager in advance about the need for such services as well as to negotiate costs.
    • Note, should a Parking Attendant from the Winthrop University Police Department be needed, at the reserved event Parking Lot, the fee for faculty, staff, and student events is $30 per hour, per attendant. Please request attendants based on a two-hour minimum. The request must be placed no later than 10 days prior to the event date. 
  2. By definition, the term "admission charges" covers any exchange of money between participants and sponsors of the event, including but not limited to, door or ticket admission charges, the sale at the event of food and/or beverages, and donations.
  3. There are no separate utilities charges; they are covered by facilities fees.
  4. Protection of university property is the responsibility of the user group. Securing tables, chairs, plants, etc., is the sole responsibility of the group. Materials damaged and/or not returned will be charged to the budget number on the online Space Request form.
  5. If technical/audio-visual support is required, a fee will be charged.  An exception to this is Barnes Recital Hall, Byrnes Auditorium, and Tillman Auditorium for which a Facility Manager fee will be charged on all occasions.
  6. All student groups receive basic services at no charge; a podium with microphone, modest staging, tables, and chairs. Requests which go beyond these basic services must be authorized by the Dean of Students.
  7. Students, faculty, and staff are required to pay full price for all spaces reserved for weddings, commitment ceremonies, and wedding receptions. Campus affiliated rates may apply and can be discussed in person with University Events.
