Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I sign up for a table?

    Make sure your organization has completed these steps to get a table at Activities Carnival:

    1. Ensure your organization has completed the Recognition Process for the current academic year. You can track your progress on our Progress Report.
    2. About a month before Activities Carnival, the officers of your organization will receive an email from Student Programs and Involvement with the RSVP form. Make sure this gets submitted as soon as possible.
    3. As long as your group has completed the Recognition Process, has submitted the RSVP form, and we still have tables available; your group will be assigned a table for the event.
  • My group did not submit the RSVP, can we still get a table?

    If your group did not submit the RSVP before the deadline, your group may still be able to get a table.

    As long as we have tables available, we will allow organizations to check-in at the Welcome Desk on the first floor of the Student Union (by Radina's) starting at 5:50 PM. Preference will be given to organizations that have completed our recognition process for the academic year.

  • How do I check in?

    Prior to the event starting, the member who submitted the RSVP form will receive an email with the group's table assignment. Starting at 5:00 PM, your group can begin to set up your assigned table for the event.

    In order to check in, QR codes will be available for your group to scan and submit our short check-in form. Please note that Student Programs and Involvement will do a round to ensure groups are checked in and at the correct table prior to the start of the event.

  • What do I need to bring?

    While Student Programs and Involvement do not require you to bring anything specific to this event, we have historically seen groups bring tablecloths, flyers/posters, and giveaways.

    If your organization needs any reasonable accommodations, such as a chair, end table, or outlet; please let us know on the RSVP form. We cannot promise we will be able to meet all accommodations, but we will do our best to ensure you have a good experience.

  • What is my organization not allowed to bring?

    We do not allow groups to bring:

    • Live Animals (Service animals are allowed)
    • Weapons (as defined by K-State's Weapons Policy)
    • Gasoline powered vehicles (allowable outside)

    We expect all organizations to follow Kansas State University's Policies and Procedures while attending this event. Below are some relevant policies:

    Please note if your organization plans on bringing anything that may fall under one of these categories on the RSVP form.

  • Is there space outside for my organization?

    As long as weather permits, we will have limited space available for organizations on Bosco Plaza during Activities Carnival. These spots will be available on a first-come first-served basis.

    If your organization plans on bringing a vehicle or larger item (like a canoe or non-gasoline powered vehicle), please share the relevant information in the RSVP form.
