Event Registration Application - Credit Card Payment
The event registration application allows users to quickly develop a registration and credit card collection website for a variety of events. The application allows the user to not only collect money but also detailed information on the payee.

Please contact the business office or Rebecca Udler in student affairs (club budget officers) for a quick tutorial and access to the tool. An approximately 3.3% transaction fee is taken from all credit card transactions.

Non-SOM Events
The academic mission of the school takes priority in the allocation of space. Requests for space for non-SOM events cannot be confirmed until all SOM classes and programs are scheduled.
