soon as possible.

the person responsible for the organization or meeting to discuss any concerns
following reservations prior to a status of “not in good standing.” Factors
contributed to be deemed not in good standing include but are not limited to:

  • Continuous cancellations of reservations less than 3 business days
    prior to the day of the scheduled event.

    creating a hostile environment, violating space policies, etc.)
  • Continuous failure to fulfill a scheduled reservation.

Walk in Reservations

1. Check in with the Delegate at the front desk and advise the following
information:

  • Which room would you like to reserve
  • Number of attendees
  • Time of meeting

2. If the room is available, the delegate will manually reserve your room for you and
obtain the required information to complete your reservation.


Post-Event Clean Up & Follow Up

1. An event closing checklist will need to be completed for any event.

2. Failure to return the space to the same condition it was in prior to the event could
result in the full cost of any major damages fees assessed to the reserving group.

Cancellations and No-show

1. Reservation cancellations must be submitted via e-mail to iee@ttu.edu by 5 pm
no less than 3 business days prior to the day of the event (i.e., Communicating
cancellation by 5 pm Monday for an event reserved on Thursday).

2. Any individual, groups, student organizations, departments, etc. canceling a
reservation less than 3 business days prior to the day of the event will receive a
warning for being in violation of the reservation policy. A second cancellation
given less than 3 business days prior to the day of the scheduled event will be
addressed by the Director. A third cancellation given less than 3 business days
will constitute a violation and the group will not be able to reserve the space at
the institute for one month within the current or subsequent fall/spring semester.
Each group gets one 24hr cancellation per semester.

3. Reservations not fulfilled within the first 45 minutes of the scheduled event will
constitute a no show. Staff and space will be released from the scheduled event.

4. Any individual, groups, student organizations, departments, etc. that are deemed
a no show on more than two occasions will be in violation of the reservation
policy and required to meet with the Director regarding the matter.
