1. SPECIAL PROVISIONS: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
IMPORTANT NOTE: All applicants for space should keep this policy document, as it will become part
of the rental contract if and when the request is approved.
Introduction. The conference facilities were provided through private donations for the primary use of
business practitioners to engage in continuing education. The functions held in the Center must comply with
the UBC charter as described in the UBC Board of Advisors' Constitution and Bylaws. The priority of use of the
facilities of the University Business Center (UBC) shall be for workshops, seminars, institutes and other similar
functions for the business and professional community of the San Joaquin Valley. Requests for use should
also meet the following criteria:
Appropriateness. The activities, programs, and other functions must fall within the charter and strategic plan
of The Craig School of Business. In addition, all activities must be acceptable and in compliance with the laws
of the State of California, California State University, Fresno the City and County of Fresno, the United States
and all governmental units. The Director will use his or her good judgment to ensure that all programs are
conducted within the moral and legal standards of California State University, Fresno, and The Craig School of
Business.
In addition, appropriate dress codes will be maintained; no lounging and no pets are allowed in the building. No
food or beverages unless approved by the UBC Director will be allowed.
Exploitation Avoidance. The Director will ensure that no individual uses the facilities for his or her own
personal gain or commercial activities, which are in conflict with the Constitution and Bylaws of the Board of
Advisors of the University Business Center. For example, the foyer will not be rented to commercial activities
selling merchandise, but trade exhibits open to all competitors to demonstrate new products are acceptable
under the usage guidelines of the UBC.
Smoke Free Environment. Please refrain from smoking anywhere in the UBC. Smoking is not permitted
anywhere in the Craig School of Business complex.
Procedure for Use and Rental. The attached application form will be completed and forwarded to the UBC
Director for approval. It should be remembered that at no time could regular university credit classes be
scheduled on a semester basis without the approval of the UBC Director as this would destroy the flexibility of
the facility and be contrary to the use for which the funds were raised.
Appeals: Appeals relative to the use of the UBC can be made to the UBC Board of Advisors. Consistent with
the State and University policies, in all disputes and appeals relative to the UBC and its policies, the Dean’s
decision shall be the final authority.
Damages. Persons and/or organizations using the UBC facilities are responsible for damages and breakage of
facilities and equipment. In some instances the user must provide and pay for security guards. The posting of
flyers is a special area of importance. Our posting policy prohibits the taping or tacking of any and all flyers or
announcement on any wall, pillars, doors, windows or railings in the Peters Building. Scotch tape and
masking tape, when baked by the sun leave a permanent mark.
The Foyer. The foyer can be used for art gallery purposes, traveling exhibits and other such programs that are
appropriate and compatible with the mission of The Craig School of Business, the University Business Center,
and California State University, Fresno so long as these exhibits do not interfere with the primary purpose of
the UBC, which are management education, contract research and related activities. It is preferable to have
the artwork appropriate for business i.e., paintings and professional photography of early Fresno Agribusiness
Organizations, historic pen and ink sketching of Fresno companies, and business art from around the world.
When the UBC is holding educational seminars that require team participation, other events will not be
scheduled for use in the foyer area.
Rental rate: Per-day charges reflect current rates and may be changed at any time
