Requests for Classrooms

Faculty request classroom needs through their department head or administrative assistant when course sections are being built for an upcoming term. Ad hoc requests for classroom use are made through (e.g., make-up classes, film screening, department meetings, guest speakers, study sessions).
Please note: The use of classroom spaces during academic days and times are approved only if they do not conflict with the academic session and with appropriate lead time. Spaces cannot be reserved for college classrooms until after drop-add because the first week of a new term results in a fair amount of classroom 鈥渟huffling鈥� and classes take priority over other activities. Requests cannot be held for future approval, so please submit your request after drop-add through Event Manager.
