Special Event Planning

To secure the necessary traffic and crowd control measures, persons or organizations planning activities that involve campus streets or the usage of campus parking lots should notify the Park 'N Pony Office and the SMU Police Department at least one week in advance. Failure to do so may result in the event not being approved. Events will be approved on a first come/first serve basis particularly if the event requires university police officers to be present.
