Fronting Policy
Student organizations, individuals, and departments are prohibited from serving as "fronts" for off-campus organizations. This means student organizations cannot sponsor, schedule, or plan events in order to give off-campus organizations un-affiliated with Emory University access to university space, information tables, the university name or marks, or other university resources.
Student organizations are welcome to host events in the name of Emory University which they directly plan, fund, and attend.
Some examples of fronted activities include:
Third Party Involvement
Permitting a non-university group to schedule space or sponsor an event (commercial or non-profit) in any campus space, including residences and outdoors. This includes permitting a third party to plan, invite, advertise, sell tickets or otherwise directly plan or sponsor any part of a student organization activity.
Use of the Emory University Name or Marks
Permitting any off-campus entity to use the university name or the name of any student organization.
Change details of Event
There are times when event details need to shift or change (for example adjusting to inclement weather). However, providing university officials and university reservation systems with misinformation to elude the intended layout or plans if the event is not permitted.
