BOG Guest Policy For All Social Events

The BOG announces a revised guest policy that requires all P.C. students w/guest(s) to register his/her guest(s) in the BOG office on Friday of the weekend of the social event between 10:30 a.m. & 4:30 p.m. A P.C. student may register no more than 2 guests. Absolutely NO non-PC student will be admitted to the social event w/o being properly registered prior to the event. The reason for this policy is that the BOG realizes the majority of the union damage at mixers is due to non-PC students, and therefore it is essential for the BOG to be aware of its non-PC guests who may not have the consideration for the union facility that our students have. Thank you for your cooperation.
