Room Reservations & Building Logistics

  • Reserve a Room
    • When selecting your date, check the calendar for other events and be considerate of other organizations and meetings that are already scheduled and avoid conflicts whenever possible.  
    • Check to be sure your event isn't on a date with a religious holiday that might keep some students, faculty, and staff from attending.
    • If a student who uses a wheelchair may want to attend your event, you can search the EMS Room Reservation System for a room with an accessible table to host your event and use an RSVP form to confirm attendance. 
  • Instructions for Making Room Reservations
  • Contact Maria Fuhrmann for help with a work order if you need to move furniture or need assistance from custodial services after hours (after 2 p.m. weekdays or on any time on weekends).

Catering/Food Information

  • The law school does not generally provide funding for or reimburse expenses for food at student events and meetings. 
  • The Food/Catering Expense Form is only required if you have money in a foundation account for your student organization and you are seeking reimbursement from that account for your food expenses.  Student organizations are eligible to have expenses paid for directly or reimbursed if:
  1. The organization has a Foundation fund and has confirmed that budget is available (contact Chris Whitehead regarding Foundation budget availability)
  2. The organization has been pre-approved for law school or outside funding (documentation required to confirm funding)
  • If the event requires a contract, student organizations should submit Food/Catering Expense Form along with the contract thirty (30) business days in advance of the event. 
  • If you are not seeking reimbursement from your organization’s existing foundation account and are using your organization’s checking account to pay for food, you do not need to submit this form. The requestor and advisor will receive email notification as to whether the request was approved or denied within 24 hours of submission of the form.
  • Student Organizations cannot order and charge to law school vendor accounts unless authorized by the Director of Operations and Administration.
  • When seeking reimbursement, Student Organizations will need to provide a list of attendees, documentation about the event, and receipts to be eligible for reimbursement after pre-approval.
