Standard reservation requests (requiring no additional personnel or equipment) must be submitted a minimum of five (5) days prior to the reservation date. Reservation requests submitted less than five (5) days in advance may not be accommodated and request may be denied. Reservation requests submitted online will be reviewed in the order they are received. All requests will be reviewed within two (2) business days from the date they are received.
It is HIGHLY encouraged that all reservations be made via the online reservation system however, requests may be made via phone, email or walk-in. Non-online methods of requests will require clients to review, sign and return Reservation Terms & Conditions BEFORE the request will be reviewed which may add additional time to the reservation process. These steps can be completed quickly and electronically through the online reservation system.
All student organizations who are registered with the University and in good standing will be permitted to reserve space in the building, but priority will be given to UAB’s recognized social fraternities and sororities. If a space is not being utilized 10 days out from an event, any registered student organization may reserve that space as long as the rest of the event registration criteria is met. Student organizations who submit a space reservation request prior to 10 business days out from the event will be placed on the waitlist for the space.
Space will be reserved using the online reservation system, EMS. Students should submit their space reservation concurrently with their event registration. Space reservations that are not submitted a minimum of 5 business days in advance will not be considered or approved.
