Special Event PERMITs
Texas A&M University will be implementing a special event permitting process starting in January 2026. This process is meant to ensure that special events held on University property are conducted safely, in compliance with regulations, and with minimal disruptions to daily operations.
What is a special Event?
A Special Event is an event that, based on scale and scope, uniqueness, complexity, and regulatory requirements, will require coordination and resources from multiple departments. These events will require a Special Event Permit.

How to Apply
Once you have reserved the venue for your special event, it is time to start the permitting process. You will have seven days to submit a Special Event Proposal in the Texas A&M Special Event Permit system. Once your proposal is reviewed and if it is accepted, you will have fourteen days to complete the Special Event Permit application. Upon submission, the applicable university departments will review the details of your special event. This process does not assess event content; its sole function is safety and compliance. Your Special Event Permit will be issued once all requirements are met.

Texas A&M has various rules and Standard Administrative Procedures (SAPs) that govern all aspects of campus operations. To ensure compliance with the rules and SAPs that apply to certain aspects of special events, we compiled the Special Event Requirements Guide. It details requirements and safety considerations to support the success of your event.
