Events & Reservations
How to Submit an Event in BaySync
As the President or Treasurer of your student organization, you will have Page Administrator access which allows you to create and submit event requests for your organization. All events hosted by your student organization must be submitted in BaySync. This includes on-campus, off-campus, and online events and events that are open to the public and member only events.
Submitting events in BaySync allows SLIC to know if you need reservations, resources (tables, chairs, tech, etc.), finances, vendors, liability, etc. in addition to promoting your event and organization to all of campus!
Page Administrators (Page Admins) are the only roles that are allowed to submit events and edit organization details. If your organization wishes to add more page admins (up to 3 additional officers), the President will need to request access for these officers by emailing studentorgs@csueastbay.edu with their position, first and last name, net id, and horizon email.
ALL RSO EVENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN BAYSYNC. THIS IS ALWAYS THE FIRST STEP!
Events should be submitted in BaySync 14 days (2 weeks) in advance, no exceptions. Any event submitted late is subject to automatic denial.
- Log into BaySync and navigate to your organization's landing page.
- Find the dropdown arrow next to your organization’s name and select Create Event.
- A form will popup and you will need to complete the information on the Create Event and Hosts form.
NOTE: The information on this form will be the information displayed on BaySync!
**Event Visibility “Organization” means ONLY to the Organization Members and “Institution” is public for ALL campus to see. - After you complete the form, make sure you click Next and you will be directed to an external Event Submission Process form for your organization event/reservation details. The information submitted on this form will not be displayed on BaySync.
NOTE: This form is to collect anything the organization needs for reservations such as room reservations, resources, finances, vendors, liability, travel, etc.
**The questions on this form depend on answers you provide and the type of event you will be hosting or taking part in. - After you complete the form, make sure you click Submit at the very end.
Once your event has been submitted it will be routed to SLIC to review, process, and approve.
The organization is responsible for checking and replying to any communication in case your SLIC needs additional information and/or clarification on your event. This is usually sent to your horizon email. Additionally, the organization is responsible for scheduling any necessary meetings with SLIC depending on the event.
