Appalachian State University encourages the free exchange of ideas on its campus while ensuring that other important University interests and activities are not infringed upon or disrupted. As such, the Facility Use Policy is designed to support the University’s educational mission and strategic goals by establishing procedures for University groups and non-University groups that seek to use buildings or grounds owned, leased, or operated by the University. More specifically, this policy is adopted to prioritize the orderly use of University facilities by University departments, recognized student clubs and organizations, University-associated groups, University-sponsored groups, and non-University groups This policy also establishes parameters and procedures governing the use of the University facilities.
