Events make CU Boulder feel like a community.
RSOs (recognized student organizations) play a major role in enriching our community. CSI wants your experience in providing these programs to be fun and educational, not frustrating.

Message your liaison or stop into our office before you start planning an event – we’re here to help! We will assist in determining the scope of your program plans and let you know the university requirements or regulations involved with event coordination.
Plan far in advance of your intended event date
Successful events can take two to six months to plan and university funding isn’t guaranteed. In order to acquire university funding for an event, you will need to apply and the process requires a minimum of two weeks to complete. Most university funding sources require requests be submitted no later than 30 days prior to your intended event date.
Know your costs
Be sure to consider the potential cost of your event, including unforseen expenses. Proper cost-consideration can be the difference between a well-run, properly executed event and a disappointing event. Plus you won’t be able to properly determine the size or scope of your potential event without crafting a budget.
Book or schedule an event space
Contact CU Events Planning & Catering to schedule the use of a university-owned space. If your event requires university funding to proceed, submit your funding request on BuffConnect. Just be sure to have a confirmation of the space where you intend to hold the event and remember many funding boards will not hear proposals until you formally reserved the space.
