The addendum covers event details not requested within the UERC application. Additional services such as parking, trash service, tent review as well as attestations on policy are covered.
- Please note the UERC IU Indianapolis addendum must be completed and submitted before the UERC application will receive final campus approval.
- Once the UERC event application and UERC IU Indianapolis Addendum are submitted, the applications are routed for review to the campus stakeholders.
- You will receive approval/ denial notification from the UERC.
The UERC application indicates a minimum of 10 business days to process the event request however for large events, at least (4) weeks is needed to allow the necessary amount of time for multiple departments to review and approve. If you do not receive an approval email within 2 weeks for small events and 4 weeks for large events from the date of submission please feel free to contact IU Indianapolis Event and Conference Services at 274-2702 or Special Events email to follow up on the status of the event.
