Due to the method in which tents are secured to the ground, there is a specific process to follow to ensure your tent rental is approved prior to your event.

Please follow the below steps when renting tents:

  1. Request a quote from the vendor of your choice. 
    1. There are currently four approved vendors: 
    2. You are REQUIRED to enter this into FalconsPurch as a non-catalog requisition for a PO as far in ADVANCE of the event as possible. The PO will automatically be issued to the vendor and trigger a reservation. 
      • This will also alert the Campus Operations team to the fact that a tent rental is taking place on campus. They will require the Tent vendor to provide them State Permitting and make sure that no gas/electrical lines will be hit when erecting the tents. 
      • DO NOT enter this into FalconsPurch as a payment request. 
    3. After the event takes place, you will need to create a receipt on the Purchase Order for your tent rental in Falcons Purch.
