The University of New Haven restricts the number and type of student-run sales and solicitation activities (fund-raising projects) that may be directed to students and other members of the University of New Haven community. Only recognized student organizations and department-sponsored student groups may engage in fund-raising projects. Requirements for student organization fund-raising are outlined under the chapter on student organization policies in this handbook. 

• Individual students may not conduct sales or solicitations on the campus for any purpose. 
• Sales and/or solicitations may be conducted on campus by recognized student organizations in order to raise money for a philanthropic/charitable project or raise money for organizational operating expenses. 
• Sales and solicitations must be registered with and approved by the Center for Student Engagement, Leadership and Orientation prior to their occurrence. 

Questions regarding organization sales and solicitation activities should be directed to the Center for Student Engagement, Leadership and Orientation. 

Policy on Political Solicitation

Solicitation on behalf of candidates for political office is not permitted except in the case of candidates for major political office (i.e., President, Governor, and University-invited speakers). 

Policy on Student Solicitation for Human Subject Research Trials

Off-campus organizations are not permitted to advertise on campus in any manner (e.g., via email, flyers, word of mouth, etc.) or in the student newspaper for student participation in human subject research trials.
