Student Organizations - Special Program Needs

Guest Speaker Honoraria

Honoraria are courtesy payments for guest speakers. The following items must be submitted along with a check request in advance of the event:

  • An original, signed and completed W9 form
  • A copy of the letter of invitation offering the honoraria (letter must include the purpose of the honoraria, the time, date and location of the event and the amount offered).

Parking for Guest Speakers

Student Organizations hosting an event may request parking for their guest speakers at a rate of $10 half day or $14 full day. Please provide Debbie Mondares the following information at least two days prior to your event:

  • First and last name of the guest speaker
  • Name of the event
  • Date and time of the event
  • Name, email address and phone number of the person organizing the event

If your request is approved, Debbie will send you an email with detailed parking information that you should forward to your guest speaker prior to their arrival.

Film Programs

If your student organization is interested in showing a film, it will be necessary for you to purchase or acquire a public performance license. The fee to purchase a public performance license generally runs around $100 - $400 depending on the film. There are several different agencies that coordinate the licensing process. More information about licensing agencies is available in the UCI Law Office of Student Life.

It is a violation of Federal law to exhibit pre-recorded video cassettes and DVDs beyond the scope of your private room or apartment - regardless of whether or not admission is charged. Ownership of a pre-recorded video cassette or DVD does not constitute ownership of a copyright. Several schools and student groups have been successfully sued for using DVDs and videos without permission. The use of copyrighted videocassettes or DVDs outside of home use requires a public performance license.

"Even performances in 'semi-public' places such as clubs, lodges, factories, summer camps, and schools are 'public performances' subject to copyright control" (Senate Report No. 94-473,p60; House Report No. 94-1476,p64.)

Federal laws include limited exceptions for educational uses of copyrighted material (for instance, use of portions of copyrighted materials in connection with a class for viewing only by instructors and students). Please consult the Office of Student Life to learn more about this exception if you are contemplating a use which you believe may fall within this educational exception.
