Planning an Event

Reserving a Facility on Campus

Before requesting a facility on campus, consider a few things:

  • Is the facility you are considering conveniently located so students can find it easily and do not have to travel far to get there?
  • Do students know the facility exists?
  • Does the facility accommodate all accessibility needs?
  • Will students be comfortable in the facility?
  • Are there many distractions in the facility?
  • Is the facility large enough to hold the expected crowd.
  • Does the facility support the "mood" of the event you are planning?
  • Have you allowed ample time to request a facility (at least one week before the event)?
    **Please note that Event Services will not honor any request that is not submitted three working days prior to an event.

THEN...

  • Go to the Student Activities Office (located on the 3rd floor of the Student Center) to obtain an Event/Facility Registration Agreement Form.
  • Fill out the form COMPLETELY, including any special arrangements/equipment necessary.
  • Have your club/organization moderator/advisor sign the form.
  • Bring the form back to Student Activities, and a staff member there will sign the form, then fax the form to Event Services.
  • **No event is approved officially nor any calendar reservation made until a Facilities Confirmation Form is mailed/faxed back to Student Activities.
  • Stop by Student Activities about 3 days after submitting the form to see if a confirmation has arrived.
