The Event Services Office will assist student organizations and university departments in arranging audio/visual equipment, event set-up and take-down, and will guide their clients in following university policies on food, marketing, and security. Event Services provides these and other services to all events in the Setzer Student Center (SSC), the Sheila Umphrey Recreational Sports Center (SURC), at tabling locations, and designated Outdoor Spaces. Event Services provides, for student organizations only, reservations for all other facilities on-campus.

Begin Your Reservation

Based on the type of group hosting the event, select the appropriate option below.

Any LU Student Organization that is registered and approved by Student Organization Services.

Non-profit and for-profit organizations, companies, or groups.

Reservation Policies and Fees

A thorough set of reservation policies has been established to provide regulations, and user-responsibilities to reserve space in the SSC, the SURC, Outdoor Spaces, and tabling locations. Additionally, to effectively schedule events, a tiered reservation system has been developed, with each tier having a different reservation window depending on the group type.

On some occasions, fees may need to be charged to organizations. If this is necessary, organizations will receive expected charges outlined in their non-contractual confirmation; then, upon completion of the event, they will receive an invoice with final charges due. To see what charges you might expect, when, and why, review our fee schedule and definitions.
