Special Events Application Information

The special event application has become one with the University Event Registration Committee (UERC) application effective January 2023.  For IU schools, departments, and offices, please follow the steps below to submit your event application. The application will be reviewed by multiple departments including the UERC, IU Indianapolis campus stakeholders such as campus facility services, event services, purchasing, and campus leadership. You will receive updates via email regarding status and approval.

The event organizer will need to complete the IU Indianapolis Special Event Application which is also known as the University Event Registration Committee (UERC) application.  

All conferences, events, and programs with 50 or more participants must submit this application for review and approval.
