Event applications are reviewed on a weekly basis. It may take five to seven business days to be reviewed and confirmed. Once your application has been received, our staff will take an initial review to ensure the application meets all requirements and verify that the requested date and time are available. The application will then be reviewed by the appropriate Assistant Director to determine additional needs for your event. This may require a meeting between the event leaders and the Assistant director or facility staff. Approval and confirmed reservation may be granted at this time. Campus Recreation staff will provide you with an estimate for the event. If the estimate is agreeable a license agreement will be sent for your review and signature.
