Best Practices for a Successful Request
- Filter by Headcount: Use accurate attendance estimates to find appropriate room sizes.
- Detailed Descriptions: Include a clear summary of your event activities.
- Buffer Time: Remember to add time for both setup and cleanup in your request.
- Recurring Needs: Use the repeating pattern feature for meetings that happen regularly.
- Budget Numbers: A valid budget number is required for all reservations, including no-cost rentals.
Booking Requirements and Timelines
Scheduling requests are processed through 25Live on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note the following mandatory lead times to ensure your request is reviewed:
Advanced Notice Required
- 21 Business Days: Required for Firstenburg Student Commons and Dengerink Administration Building (Rooms 110 and 129).
- 10 Business Days: Required for general-use classrooms, computer labs, and tabling locations.
Special Considerations
Events that are open to the public or involve alcohol service require extra oversight and approval from the vice chancellor for finance and operations. High-risk factors—such as large attendance, outdoor cooking, or public advertisements—may extend the processing period.
Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your reservation is only finalized once the Events Office issues an official email confirmation with a specific reservation number. Until that confirmation is received, the space is not secured.
