Special Events Registration Security measures taken at on-campus events must be adequate enough to maintain order and ensure safety. Occasionally departments will host a visitor or event that has the potential of being controversial or disruptive to the campus community. In consultation with sponsors of the event, DPS will make appropriate security arrangements, involving minimal interference with the scheduled event, and the privacy and freedom of those attending. Note: You must fill out the DPS event form (10 days in advance) to insure in addition to your ODUS Event registration form. Fill out the form at the bottom of the page to register your event.
