Vincennes University requires prior approval for sales on campus by any student, faculty member, staff member, student
organization or outside group invited by such a person or organization. The Dean of Students at the Vincennes Campus, or
the Director of Student Services at the Jasper campus, will retain the right of approval of the product as well as the date,
time, and location of the sales. If the use of buildings other then the Student Union on the Vincennes campus or the
Administration building on the Jasper campus is requested, additional approval must be obtained from the respective
building supervisor.
Approval must also be obtained for sales off-campus by an individual or organization that represent or use the name of the
University.
Vincennes University also requires prior approval for sales by uninvited outside groups who wish to come on campus. The
Dean of Students or the Director of Student Services will retain the right of approval of the product as well as the date and
time of the sales. The areas designated for sales by outside groups on the Vincennes campus are the Beckes Student Union
Grand Hall or brick area in front of the Union and, on the Jasper campus,
the awning area in front of the Administration
building as well as the Administration Building lobby. For the purpose of this policy, sales are defined as the exchange of
property or services for a determined amount of money or its equivalent or the recruiting of possible sales.
