II. REGISTERED ASSEMBLIES 

Limitation to Vassar Groups

Only Vassar College community members may organize campus Assemblies. (Note: labor actions, including any action held during union contract negotiations, must occur off campus.) The organizing group for an Assembly must be affiliated with the Vassar community, a VSA organization or department to gain access to resources (ex: space reservation, equipment and furniture, funding). Student organizations must register and organize any Assembly following the regular VSA student organization programming process as outlined in the College’s . 

Planning Meeting

Upon advance registration of a student organization’s event, students or groups planning an Assembly should schedule a planning meeting with the Offices of Campus Activities and Campus Safety.  The Offices of Campus Activities and Campus Safety will provide guidance to individuals and groups planning an Assembly. 

III. UNREGISTERED ASSEMBLIES 

In the case of unregistered assemblies, recommended places to assemble are the Chapel Lawn or College Center Circle during daylight hours. The Old Bookstore may be used if weather is inclement. See the guidelines below.

Guidelines for Unregistered Assemblies

Because of the proximity of these designated spaces to other buildings and classrooms, sound amplification or loud noises that disrupt the educational function of the College in conjunction with such an Assembly are prohibited during weekday business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5 pm) and at any time when scheduled events are taking place nearby.  Students are reminded that actions during Assemblies remain subject to the other guidelines set forth within this policy, as well as policies in Student Regulations and the College’s Non-Discrimination and Harassment Policy.
