Planning an event can be intimidating. Our staff is here to assist you in any way. We recommend reviewing this website prior to requesting space in the Events Reservation System.

Once your request is submitted to the Event Reservation System, you will receive a notification that our team has begun to process your request, and we will reach out to you as soon as possible when more information is available. Please do not advertise your event until your event request has been confirmed. 

Please Note: Most of our meeting spaces on campus are classrooms first. The Registrar's Office holds the space through the first week of each semester for scheduling purposes. We cannot confirm any reservations until the academic course schedule has been finalized. Please bear with us during this time of the year; we will finalize your request as soon as possible

Please feel free to reach out to the team with any event-related questions.
