DO I HAVE TO COMPLY WITH POLICY 8.8, MEET WITH CYS AND REGISTER MY PROGRAM? | University Student Organizations (ITs) | Independent Student Organizations (EOs) |
On University Premises | YES | YES |
Off University Premises | YES | NO* |

| What if our event is open to the public or to the Cornell Community and is not specifically targeted toward minors, but some minors may be in attendance? | Registration and compliance are not required. Event organizers may always contact CYS for guidance and recommendations. |
| What about events/programs where minors will be chaperoned by a parent/guardian, teacher, Scout leader, or other adult chaperone? | Contact CYS for guidance. |
