Such events require advanced registration with the designated facility representative. Use of space for the selling of goods and/or services that is in close proximity to and in direct competition with exclusive university vendors such as the University Bookstore, Dining Services or any other entity that have an exclusive contract with USA is prohibited.
Each event must follow the rules and regulations of the University and the laws of the State of Alabama or other governing body. Solicitation privileges may be revoked for violation of rules and/or regulations, or for conduct which may be characterized as offensive or harassing.
