How to submit a Payment Request

Event Organizer's Wavier Request Form
Are you conducting an activity or planning an event that involves traveling, transportation, or the use of alcohol or involves minors? You may need an event waiver or waivers. Above is an organizer's request form with instructions guiding you on how to create an event with the correct and necessary waivers to ensure legal and risk mitigation compliancy.
Clubs Requesting a Certificate of Insurance (COI)

Organization Officer Transition Guide
One of the most significant obstacles to student organization longevity is the transition between leaders. However, if your club makes an effort to prepare, the change will be much smoother. Use the checklist to guide your organization through this exciting process. Please note that this checklist is not intended to be exhaustive; tailor it to your organization's needs for best results.
Organization Name Change Form
You may use this form to request your organization's name be changed on all official documents held by Cornell University and Campus Activities. This would include your organization's name on the CampusGroups website database, as well as your profile on other social media and websites, as well as your mailbox. We will require all existing physical mail to be collected from the Willard Straight Hall Mailbox (if any), and the updated name to be correctly represented on the mail delivery folder (if applicable). Your organization's advisor will need to co-sign on the change of name and University Branding (if applicable).
Campus Activities Newsletter Submission Form
The CA newsletter is another helpful resource that helps promote events and organizations and shares information through announcements. Requests are only accepted from Cornell registered student organizations and Cornell-affiliated departments/programs. Due to the volume of ads, there is a required format for your ad submission to display your ad and keep the newsletter to a reasonable length. Your adherence to this effort is greatly appreciated.
