Scheduling Information for On-Campus Student Clubs/Organizations
Only club officers who are financially responsible (as listed on the current charter) may reserve facilities/space.
We reserve the right to book an alternate location that meets the students’ needs based on available space and university cost savings.
All Reservations need to be made through the EMS WebApp
General Information
- Student Clubs/Organizations may request space on a semester-by-semester basis. During the fifth (5th) week of any given semester, forms may be submitted to Special Events and Guest Services for the next semester.
- "Charter clubs and organizations may reserve meeting space normally not to exceed two hours per meeting" per Facility Use Policy. Also on this policy, please see "regular operating hours" for scheduling purposes.
