Forms & Publications

If you are planning an on- or off-campus organization event, it can be difficult to know what forms you need to complete and submit to Student Programs. We've created the following guide to help. As always, if you have any questions, please call Student Programs at 865-5141 or e-mail us at stuprog@tulane.edu.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• All forms must be completed and signed where indicated by a representative of the student organization and by the organization’s adviser.
• Any incomplete forms or missing items will delay the processing of your paperwork.
  
• Check this list to determine which vendors have already completed an alcohol agreement with Tulane.
• Checks are only cut once a week, on Wednesday, and take about a week after the contract is completed to be cut. Plan accordingly.
