Tips To Having a Successful Event
Four Easy Steps to Guarantee a Successful Event
1. Submit Reservation Request Form (available either at the Student Center Information Desk or online)
Please have the following information available when completing a reservation request form:
Type of event (meeting, dance, workshop, concert etc.)
Name of Event:
Date: Alternate date
Event time: (setup and teardown etc.)
Estimated Attendance:
If outdoors, is rain date or location needed?
Is admission being charged?
Is food being served? (If so, must be served by University Food Services Catering)
Equipment needed (ex. overhead, podium, etc.)
2. Check Status of Reservation Request
If request has been denied - see someone in the Office of University Student Activities
If request has been granted - read all paperwork and meet all deadlines. Failure to Meet These Deadlines Can Result in Reservation Cancellation
Every effort is made to respond to requests in a timely manner. If you have not heard about the status of your request, contact the Student Activities Office so that the process can move forward.
