If your organization’s event or fundraiser takes up space on city or campus roads—usually for a 5K or walk/run event—you will need to file a street closing form.  Forms are available in the ORG office or can be downloaded here.

Take your form and a map indicating what streets you’d like to use to ORG advisor Nick Evans.  Once he grants initial approval, you’ll have to get additional approval from MUPD, Columbia PD, and MU Business Services at least two weeks in advance of your event.

Things to keep in mind:

• MUPD will not approve street closings on the days of home football games, so check that schedule before setting a date for your event.
• Only one street closing is approved for a particular date, with rare exceptions.  Saturdays in the spring time fill up VERY quickly, so get your form in ASAP if your street closing is during spring semester.
• If your event is a fundraiser on campus, you must submit a request for approval via the ORG database (hyperlink).
• You may be required to supply bathrooms or security at your own expense, depending on the location and size of your event.
• Check the “Planning Events” section on the ORG homepage for more details on getting food permits, renting equipment from MSA Tech, selling tickets, and advertising.
