Reservation Process

Expand All
  • Student Organizations

    All approved UR student organizations must have an Events Liaison. This representative is the designated person responsible for reserving event space for the organization.

    Each organization is encouraged to have two representatives. The exception to this is Sororities, where only one representative is required. A student can be the representative for no more than two organizations.

  • Reservations During the Semester

    Request event locations using the Centralized Scheduling Service.

    If the request for a reservation can be honored, a confirmation notice and any other necessary forms will be sent directly to the organization contact.

    Normally, it is a good idea to submit requests as early as possible so that the room requested can be honored.

  • University Departments and Offices

    Any staff member of a department or office can make a reservation request.

  • Equipment Needs

    Use the Centralized Scheduling Service to request equipment and services required for event programming.

    Examples of Event Equipment

    • Flipcharts
    • Chairs
    • Round Tables
    • Rectangular Tables
    • Podiums
    • Sound
    • Trash Cans
    • Easels
