Considerations

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi gives first priority to institutional activities such as academic classes, intercollegiate athletics, and student- and university-events.  It may be possible to accommodate additional activities in university facilities for non-university individuals, groups or organizations.

The availability of facilities is limited when classes are in session. The availability of dates beyond the current semester require additional approvals from various campus departments.

Non-University individuals, groups or organizations are required to provide a general liability certificate of insurance (COI) for $1 million that include the following language, “also insured is the Board of Regents for and on behalf of Texas A&M University System and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi”.   Certificates of insurance without this language cannot be accepted.

Event Services can assist non-University individuals, groups, and organizations who do not carry general liability insurance with the purchase of insurance for their event.

In the interest of good stewardship of state resources, cost recovery for use of facilities, catering & dining, custodial, personnel and equipment should be expected by University and non-University groups.

Events classified by our definition as a youth program, when applicable, may require special considerations and precautions for the protection of minors. Each inquiry will need to be assessed accordingly.

Islander Catering & Dining is provided by Chartwells. Chartwells has exclusive catering and foodservice rights on all properties under the control of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

Food, beverages, and alcohol from non-University vendors is not permitted.

The University Police Department is responsible for the security of all guests on properties under the control of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.  Event Services will review the details of your event to determine the appropriate security needs.   Events serving alcohol are required to have security. 

Non-University security services are not permitted.
