  • Rooms are assigned based on capacity, availability, event conflicts and order received. 
    Classrooms are scheduled at the discretion of the room coordinators on a first-come, first-served basis. You may be assigned an alternate room depending on event size, room capacity, or other considerations.
  • Wait for email confirmation of your request before announcing the room of your event.
    • Please allow up to 2 business days to process your request.
