How to submit a Payment Request

Event Organizer's Wavier Request Form

EVENTS NEED WAIVERS!

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)

Does your club need a certificate of insurance for an event or activity? Above is the form/application needed for the Office of Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) to assist in the request. 

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.

Activity Waiver List & Links

Student organizations involving physical activities that could result in personal injury (climbing, dancing, recreational swimming, dart throwing, hammocking etc.) are assigned an activity waiver based on the level of risk. Each member of an activity waiver organization must sign the risk waiver associated with the organization to participate as a member. The club leadership is responsible for ensuring all members have signed the required waiver. If your organization does not meet waiver compliance you run the risk of losing access to funding until compliance is met.
