This page contains important information relating to attendance and tickets for your organization’s event(s). There are multiple event tracking options available to student organizations depending on event type and needs for the event. Please read this page carefully so you are well-informed before any event begins. Should you have any questions regarding which event attendance tracking option is applicable for your event, please reach out to Student Involvement at uainvolvement@ua.edu.

Attendance Tracking

ACT Card Reader Rental

Student organizations can check out action card readers to collect Bama Cash and/or track attendance at events and meetings. Interested organizations should submit the ACT Card Reader request form at least two weeks before their event date.

After applications are approved, ACT Card readers should be picked up directly from the ACT Card office. If you have questions, please contact ACT Card.

  • Fees for Attendance: $160 per semester, $60 per reader per month or $20 per week. Free one day rental, so long as readers are returned the following day. All fees are per reader.
  • Fees for Bama Cash: Assessed for 3.5% for total amount collected in Bama Cash.
  • $25 Late Fee per reader per day.

Groups renting for the semester are responsible for returning the reader and all charging cables by the last day of the semester. Failure to do so will result in late fees being processed until the readers are returned.

Event Ticketing (UTix)

Departments and registered student organizations for the current academic year may apply to utilize E-tickets. The E-tickets program provides a way for departments and organizations to collect money for events/programs sponsored by the group at a minimal administrative cost. Departments and registered student organizations must turn in an e-ticket application at least 10 days prior to their event. Please read the following polices carefully before submitting your application or considering use of the E-Tickets program. Contact Teneshia Arnold at tsarnold1@ua.edu for questions.

Big Name Performers

If your organization is hoping to bring in a well-known/big-name artist or performer, it is recommended that you notify the Office of Student Involvement as soon as possible so that they can work with you to make your event successful (i.e increase security, etc.).
