Non-university Events
The following is Bucknell’s General Guidelines on Use of Bucknell University Facilities for Non-university Sponsored Events.
Bucknell makes its facilities available for rental on a limited basis for use by individuals or outside organizations when students are in residence. The majority of use by outside organizations is limited to the summer, fall and spring break periods.
The types of outside organizations eligible to use the University's facilities are primarily:
- Non-commercial groups
- Groups with an educational or cultural purpose
- Community-related nonprofit groups
Groups should relate to the mission of the University and must be consistent with Bucknell's non-profit educational status. If the non-university organization is a commercial, private or for-profit entity, its use of Bucknell facilities must be related to educational or charitable purposes. Bucknell University reserves the right to impose insurance or access restrictions on any facility usage, or to otherwise restrict access if such usage would be inconsistent with the best interests of the University.
In addition, individuals not affiliated with the University may be able to book weddings and receptions on campus, schedule permitting.
Bucknell policy prohibits non-Bucknell groups from bringing in outside vendors such as, but not limited to, technical support, security and/or caterers
