SUB Late Night Event Information

  • All campus, local, state and federal policies are to be followed at all times. Appropriate action will be taken against all those who do not comply.
  • For security reasons, all hired entertainers will be allowed 3 personnel to assist with the event set-up once the building has been locked down. For the duration of the event, entertainers must follow the same entry procedure as attendees. A SUB staff member must accompany the entertainers at all times.
  • Upon entering the premises, all persons will be searched by professional security staff hired by SUNY New Paltz (see SAUS Professional Security Hiring Guidelines). Lines will be posted with the gender of the security person who is conducting searches, in order to prepare students for an expedited entry.
  • All coats will need to be submitted to the coat-check prior to entering the event. This goes for all outerwear deemed to be extraneous to persons in attendance at the event.  Sponsoring organizations are responsible for staffing the coat check at all times.
  • If there is a need to evacuate the building, all event attendees will be required to exit the SUB through the 2nd floor doors. Elevator access, stairwell use and coat check operation will not be allowed. Re-entry will occur through the 1st floor doors via the SUB concourse and its walkways. All those returning to an event will be searched again by security staff. Re-entry will occur only when the building has been cleared.
  • If a vendor is present at an event, a vendor application must be filled out and displayed at the event. If an application is not present, then the vendor will be escorted off campus.
  • If AV services are required, follow the appropriate protocol for requesting these services.
  • If you require a back up date for your event ("rain date"), the date of the back up may be no sooner than 1 month from the primary event date. This will give Student Activities staff appropriate time to re-book the space if the back up date is not utilized.
  • Student Activities professional staff members have the authority to close down any event if deemed necessary.
  • For late night events (i.e. parties), SUB doors will close no later than 12 a.m. No persons will be allowed to enter the SUB after the doors have been closed.
  • All cash collection at an event must adhere to SUNY New Paltz and SUB policies and procedures. These regulations will be strictly enforced (please see SUB Money Handling Policy).
  • SUNY New Paltz students are permitted no more than two non-student guests at any event. Upon event entry, identification will be collected from all non-student guests and their student host. Both the host and his or her guests must be present at the time identification is returned.  The host must escort the guest out the event when leaving. If the host leaves, the guest must also leave the event.
