Detailed SSU Event Planning Policies
Smoking Policy
SSU Smoke and Tobacco-Free
Savannah State University is committed to the health and well-being of all members of the SSU community. A smoke/tobacco-free campus means that everyone, including guests, is free to travel and visit anywhere on campus without having to avoid potentially health-hazardous situations.
Venue Use
Savannah State University is committed to providing facilities for programs that are consistent with educational goals and mission of the University. As a community partner, the University also supports the need for public service events. Use of University facilities that are incongruent with the Savannah State University mission, may result in loss of privileges.
Damage to University Property
All individuals using Savannah State University facilities are expected to take reasonable steps to ensure proper care of the venue and equipment. Damage, repair, and replacement costs are the responsibility of the sponsoring organization/department. Intentional misuse, vandalism, defacing and/or destruction of University facilities, and/or equipment may result in legal action including replacement costs and revocation of the privilege to reserve Savannah State University venues. Savannah State University property (i.e. furniture, paintings, sculptures, displays, flags, etc.) may not be moved or removed from a venue without approval from The Office of Event Services.
