Solicitation

Solicitation is selling, advertising, or obtaining contributions on campus through personal, telephone, and/or mail contact. Uncontrolled solicitation is not allowed. Any campus solicitation by private businesses or by students or student organizations acting as an agent of private business may be permitted by subject to approval of the Dean of Student Services. Solicitors must register their request with the office of the Dean of Student Services and upon approval will be issued a solicitation permit.

At the discretion of the Dean of Student Services or designate, an “Itinerant Vendor’s Permit” from the City of Port Arthur may be requested before a solicitation permit is issued.

Procedure

All applications must be filed in the office of the Dean of Student Services at least one week prior to the requested date(s) of solicitation. All applications will be reviewed, and applicants will be notified of the approval or disapproval within three business days after the application has been filed.

Solicitors may be held liable for any false advertising and fraudulent and/or illegal conduct as it relates to the sale of their merchandise.
