Frequently Asked Questions

SUP does not offer refunds to events that you are not able to attend. SUP does however have a “BUY/SELL” binder located in the Student Programming Suite (Student Center room 117). The “BUY/SELL” binder is maintained by the students wishing to buy or sell tickets to an event and SUP is NOT responsible for any tickets being bought or sold. It is up to the individuals buying the tickets to contact those selling the tickets; SUP simply provides means to connect students to one another.

SUP has two options for those in other clubs who wish to use SUP services. SUP offers technical services which, will provide a trained technician and technical equipment to help the club put on an event. There is a fee for the technical services, and it is NOT possible to simply rent the equipment without the trained technician. Please also keep in mind that SUP technicians are NOT professional technicians but students who are familiar with setting up and operating the equipment. Tech forms may be downloaded here.

SUP also offers a Co-Sponsorship option for those clubs seeking funds for putting on an event with SUP. The club must first present the idea to the SUP executive board, and upon approval by a vote from the executive board, the event may proceed. The Co-Sponsorship policy implies that the event will be put on through the mutual cooperation of both SUP and the club seeking Co-Sponsorship, not as simply a means to gain extra funds for an event. For more information see Article 8 of the SUP By-Laws below detailing the SUP Co-Sponsorship Policy.

Because SUP is an SGA sponsored organization, our mission is to put on the best quality events for Rowan students. This means that for events that require tickets, only rowan students (with I.D.) are allowed to purchase tickets.

Because of the various events SUP puts on, certain events require Rowan ID, while others do not. For all events tickets are purchased for, a Rowan ID is required to attend. For other events, whether a Rowan ID is required to attend or not will be advertised beforehand. SUP reserves the right to check Rowan Student ID’s at ANY event.

Yes, all Rowan rules and regulations apply during off campus trips. If a situation occurs during a trip, the university will be notified and follow their normal procedure.

Working within this budget, Off-Campus works to get the best and most interesting trips available for students.

SUP members say they became involved because of the lasting friendships they have made, and the fun they have participating in campus programming.

Not all SUP events are free because the artists booked for events cost a great deal of money and SUP charges a minor fee to recuperate some of the cost so that we can reuse the money to program more events for the school year. SUP still offers a very competitive price on their ticketed events at a fraction of the cost of what other vendors and venues are asking for the same events. This is all in the grand effort to bring the best acts to campus for the student body of the university.

It is incredibly easy to get involved with SUP. The first Monday of every month there is a General Meeting, as well as Take Over the Pit events where you can fill out general interest forms. If you cannot make either of these please stop by the Student Programming Suite (Student Center Room 117) and talk with one of the Executive Board members about committee meeting times. General meeting information may also be found in the Student Programming Suite.
