^*The benefits you are able to access, as an officer of a student group, are for your group's use alone. For instance, reserving a meeting room, event venue or contact table allows you to use this space only for your group's purpose. You specifically cannot reserve spaces for use by other student groups, University departments, outside groups, or individual use to provide access or reduced costs in using University facilities, services, or staff. Providing this inappropriate access to student group benefits may result in disciplinary action against your group.
