Open/Closed Event Definitions

  • Open Events are accessible to the entire Dartmouth community without restriction. Unless otherwise advertised, events hosted by student organizations at Dartmouth are open events. 
  • Student organizations may require RSVPs or utilize a first-come, first-serve  process for open events due to space/capacity limits, but such requirements must be clearly advertised and applied to all students. 
  • Closed Events are restricted to specific attendees, such as invite-only, members-only, or  school-specific. Access to closed events is limited to the designated participants as determined by the student organization. 
  • Closed events must be advertised accordingly. Student organizations must have  an attendee list for closed events determined before the start of the event.
