Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

What if I want to book a reoccurring meeting for the semester?

Choose “recurrence” next to the date in the first step.

Choose “Tabling” as the building. Utilize the tabling diagram on Social Tables to choose a table number that best fits your needs.

Choose “availability legend” in the bottom right corner to see what each color signifies. Building and University closures are recorded thus spaces will be unavailable during these times. The plus sign to the left of the space signifies its availability during the time frame specified.

Yes. While we cannot delete them, we can archive contacts who are no longer active.

This can happen for many reasons. All rooms have minimum and maximum occupancy loads. Attendance cannot exceed the maximum occupancy load. If a room you are searching for does not appear, it is possible the capacity cannot accommodate your request. For additional assistance, contact the Reservations Office.

It is important to click on this icon next to the location name you are selecting. If the plus sign is not selected, the space has not been requested and terms and conditions as well as the submit button will not generate.
