NOTE: All official club or cluster programming (on or off-campus) is required to be submitted as an event in CampusGroups. Instructions on how to create an event using your CampusGroups portal.
What are student programming blackout dates?
OSA works with other CBS partners to set specific dates and times when student organizations are and are not able to plan any types of events. These are put in place for academic purposes (such as exams or LEAD), important community wide events (like the Career Fair or Town Hall) or breaks and holidays when the school is closed.
Are there exceptions to student programming blackout rules?
Event exceptions are rare and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Student groups must submit an exception request in advance to be reviewed by their OSA club advisor and/or CMC and Academics.
