Event Booking FAQs
Do I have to use the Event Request Form even if my department plans to manage the event?
Yes, please submit your event even if you plan to manage the event on your own, so we can keep track of spaces in use.
How far in advance do I need to reserve a space?
On-campus spaces need to be booked a minimum of 2–3 months in advance, though we recommend booking as soon as possible. Off-campus spaces need to be booked a minimum of 4-8 months in advance, given lengthy contract negotiations and approvals within the university.
When will the Events team respond to my request for an event?
Please allow 24-48 hours for a response from our team. We will check space availability and respond with either a booking confirmation or suggested alternative space, generally within 48 hours. Occasionally, more time is needed. Your event consultant will notify you when your request is being processed.
What happens after a space is confirmed?
Once the event space is confirmed, the event consultant will meet with you to discuss event needs.
Will my event consultant be on-site the day of an event?
On the day of the event, your event consultant will be on-site with any additional staff to ensure all runs smoothly.
