Tech Charges

Types of Events

If your event requires exceptional tech support (i.e. the services of a concert production vendor or of an FOM labor shop) your organization will be charged at full cost through the reservation system.

Student Organization Events

The Collis Center for Student Involvement supports student organization events with free use of venues and a modest threshold of uncharged tech support.

  • We will provide up to four work hours of free tech support (i.e. two techs working for two hours each) after which the Organization will be charged at the rate of $30/hr.

Departmental Events for Students

Departmental events that are student-focused are charged for the use of the room ($75 for Common Ground and Tom Dent and $50 for ONE Wheelock) and have a lower threshold of uncharged Tech and Professional support.

  • We will provide up to two work hours of free tech support (i.e. two techs working for one hour each) after which the organization will be charged at the rate of $45/hr.

Departmental Events for Faculty and Staff

Departmental events that are not student-focused (i.e. attended mostly by staff, faculty or community members) are charged for the use of the room ($75 for Common Ground and Tom Dent, $50 for ONE Wheelock) and are charged for ALL tech and professional support.

  • The Collis Center for Student Involvement will not provide free tech support to departmental events that are not student-focused. The department will be charged at the rate of $45/hr for Tech labor from the outset (i.e. there is no threshold of free labor).
