Certain events REQUIRE a meeting with Public Safety to discuss event specifics and to obtain an approval signature. This meeting must take place prior to the TWO week due date for paperwork to be returned to JMU Event Management. The following events require the approval of Public Safety:

  • Cash Handling
  • Dance / Concerts
  • Large Events (attendance of 250 or more)
  • Overnight Events
  • Walk / Runs

Additonally, JMU Event Management handles all special event scheduling.  Scheduling, forms, and resources are  available on their website.

If you are involved with organizing a special event at JMU and need assistance, or approval, from the University Police Department must contact Lt. John Campbell via email at campbejc@jmu.edu to schedule an appointment.

The completed and signed form is due at JMU Event Management at least TWO weeks before the event date. If other forms are required, i.e. JMU Event Approval Form or Outdoor Event Approval Form, they must be turned in to the appropriate scheduling office at least TWO weeks before the event date. If the discussion and signature approval has not taken place prior to the due date for paperwork, the event will not be approved.
