These forms allow an item to be placed on the University Calendar as well as to reserve all necessities for a campus event like the room, equipment, food services, etc. The Facility and Event Coordination Form is to be used to schedule other rooms on campus and to add an item to the calendar if a room is not needed.
All events, regardless of room locations, should go through the reservation process. If the room requested is already in use for the date and time you have selected, you will be notified that a change needs to be made. Also, if an event does not go through the reservation process, it may not appear on the University Calendar.
