Room Policies

Violations of these policies could cause your group to forfeit any existing room reservations and future room reservation privileges.

    General

  •  

    All individuals using shared meeting room(s) are expected to clean up after themselves. This would include arranging tables and chairs back to the usual configuration of the room(s), erasing the white board(s), picking up all food items and trash, and generally leaving the room(s) in an orderly condition suitable for the next event.

    Please turn off projector and lights at the end of your event.

    Requesting departments should notify Room Scheduling immediately of any meeting cancellations, so that the room may be made available to others.

    Make sure you schedule all necessary set-up and breakdown time for your meetings. Due to the limited space, meetings are often scheduled "back-to-back" and you may not have the time needed to set-up or clean up after your meetings.

    Food is permitted in the meeting rooms. Please clean up all food immediately after your meeting. There are more specific stipulations for the Dean's Large Conference Room, Leichtag 107, and Leichtag Lobby.  These stipulations are listed in the below in the policies listed for those rooms.

    We cannot guarantee that white board supplies (dry-erase markers, erasers) will be available, as these items have a tendency to disappear. Bring your own to be certain you have them when needed.
  •  

    Standing meetings are meetings that occur on a regularly recurring basis (i.e. weekly, monthly). Standing meetings can be made for a maximum of one year and must be renewed annually by email or Room Request form. We schedule all standing meetings on the Academic Year (July-June).

    We will send out a courtesy reminder to all of the clients that are currently in our database. If the contact for your standing meeting changes throughout the year and we are not notified, we cannot guarantee you will get the courtesy reminder. Even though we send out the reminder emails, it is your responsibility to make sure your meeting gets renewed for the upcoming academic year.
  • Shared meeting space is limited and demand is high, which necessitates placing some limitations on group size, the duration and frequency of meetings, and how many meeting rooms can be reserved for a single time period by one department or individual. Requests will be considered on an individual basis taking into account concurrent activities, room availability, nature of request, and resulting inconvenience to other departments and individuals. In general, the following limitations can be applied to reservations:

    1. Group size should not exceed room capacities according to fire and safety regulations.
    2. Duration and frequency of meetings should not dominate conference room space, regardless of how early reservations are made.

    Select a room that is appropriate for the size of your group rather than for its location.

    SOM Campus
