Planning your event

  1. Plan Ahead! Reservations are first come, first serve! Send in your request as soon as possible. Requests may take some time, due to academic scheduling, etc.
  2. Know the Services! By reading and being familiar with the services Event Services offers, users can take full advantage of services all over campus.
  3. Use a Reservation Form! The form reminds clients of the variety and the details that need to be addressed in planning an event. Plus, it provides an effective way to communicate the request and it will be in writing. (You can obtain a request form in the office or web page.)
