Tabling request form
The Student Involvement and Leadership Center coordinates reservations for tabling at all reservable outdoor locations on campus and indoor locations at the IMU and in Ballantine Hall. Tables are not provided by SILC for outdoor tabling. See "Outdoor spaces" on our Plan an Event page for available locations.
A variety of activities may occur at tabling locations, in accordance with campus policies.
- Food is permitted at tabling locations.
- If you are tabling in the Indiana Memorial Union, all food must be provided either through IU Catering or purchased from a restaurant located within the IMU.
- If you are tabling in Ballantine Hall or any outdoor tabling location, food must be produced in a commercial kitchen.
- Pre-packaged food is recommended for tabling; however, any event with food must follow the Food Protection Policy. For tabling events with food, submit the Temporary Event Food Service Application at least 5 days before the event.
- IU's Non-solicitation on Campus Policy limits commercial activity. Tabling involving outside businesses requires approval from IU Purchasing.
Departments are welcome to reserve tabling space at designated locations across campus during approved tabling hours beginning at 8 a.m. To help ensure access for all organizations, tabling reservations are subject to the following guidelines:
- Organizations may reserve a tabling location for:
- Up to two consecutive days in the same location
- Up to three total days within a single week (Sunday through Saturday)
- A maximum of four (4) hours per location per day
These guidelines allow multiple groups the opportunity to share campus spaces and engage with the community throughout the week.
Departmental tabling requests should be submitted through the form below. The available tabling locations will populate in the form. Note that the Sample Gates location may be reserved, but the use of tables is not permitted at this location.
Requests submitted through this form will be reviewed within 3–5 business days. Requests submitted on evenings or weekends will be reviewed during regular business hours.
