General Scheduling & Reservation Policies

• Scheduling is done on a first-come, first-served basis, unless there is a conflict with Mercer's Academic programming or Administrative events, which will always take priority.
• It is the responsibility of the event requestor/organizer to ensure appropriate setup details and services have been arranged and confirmed for their event. The reservations office does not help with, nor provide event planning.
• New reservations and requests must be submitted at least 10 business days in advance.
• Events scheduled outside of working hours may be subject to overtime fees. Rooms are to be used "as-is" outside of business hours unless other arrangements have been made and confirmed with the reservations office and Physical Plant.

Events Scheduling System Policies

• To ensure services and setups are available, events can not be created less than 4 days in advance.
• To ensure classes are scheduled without conflict, the Events Scheduling System will not be open for scheduling until classes have been entered each semester.
  • Reserving rooms in unrealistic excess, or that aren't used will result in the loss of scheduling privileges.
  • Providing false event information will result in the loss of scheduling privileges.
  • Altering reservations that don't belong to you will result in loss of scheduling privileges.
  • Sharing an account with a user that has not been permitted access will result in loss of scheduling privileges.

Student Reservation Policies

• Only active, officially-recognized student organizations may request a reservation for rooms and resources on campus. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis for academic reasons (i.e. special class presentations).
• Students must submit reservation requests via the online request form.
• All student reservation requests must be approved by the Campus Life office.
• The event date and location should be confirmed prior to publishing or printing any promotional materials.
• All student events must adhere to the policies and code of conduct outlined in the student handbook and on the student organizations website.
