Welcome back Retrievers,
We are looking forward to a new semester with lots of new faces scheduling and planning events on campus. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that until the academic class schedule is finalized, we are unable to place events in academic classrooms, except during free hour. We refer to this in the Event & Conference Services office as Academic Clearance.
Any requests received for academic classrooms will be held in queue in the order in which they were received for processing after we have received academic clearance. That usually occurs two or more weeks into the semester, but can vary, depending on the Registrar's needs.
You may also notice that you were unable to place requests for academic spaces at all during the first 2 weeks of the semester outside free hour. If you are placing recurring requests, you will want to start the dates of those requests after September 12.
Event & Conference Service managed spaces are available for booking during these times, however, due to the limited availability of these spaces, we may not be able to place your request during this time. We also are likely to experience extended processing times during this time, so please have patience.
In partnership,
The Event & Conference Services team.
