RRO Event Scheduling

 

During Red Raider Orientation (RRO) there are several aspects regarding room reservations and HVAC that departments will need to be aware of which will help them have a successful event. 

RRO activities in academic classrooms must be scheduled in Ad Astra regardless of departmental oversite of the room. This ensures that services such as HVAC and exterior building door access will be scheduled. If a classroom is not scheduled in Ad Astra there is a risk that it may already be booked for academic courses or another event.

 

Ad Astra

 
ACADEMIC CLASSROOM SCHEDULING
  • Academic classrooms will need to be scheduled through Ad Astra.
    • Please plan ahead and add set-up and take-down times to your event scheduling.
  • An Event Confirmation Summary email will be sent to the requester with information regarding access into the classroom and the classroom guidelines.
  • Please remember that access is granted to rooms that have an email confirmation sent by Ad Astra for the times and dates scheduled. 
    • Access is not automatic, please be sure to read your event summary.
    • Room access will not be granted if your event has not been scheduled.
    • To ensure double booking or interruptions for other events do not happen, extra time is not added for access.
  • All events scheduled through Ad Astra will be on Utilities schedule for heating & air.
  • Exterior doors are scheduled based on Ad Astra scheduling (see Non-Academic Buildings Weekend Requests for exceptions).
    • Weekdays: Custodial and Transportation & Parking

Requesting Events

All event requests are processed in the order they are received. Please be mindful and
allow 1-2 business days for your event to be reviewed. Most departments require you to contact them with a minimum of three business days notice for room access.

Non-Academic Buildings Weekend Requests

To ensure accurate weekend reports for buildings and rooms not scheduled in Ad Astra (such as conference rooms scheduled through Outlook calendars), we need the following information sent to filled out in the online formno later thanThursday morning, as the report is finalized early Friday mornings.

  • Please submit the following online form for weekend dates only which will need the following information:
    • Building Name
    • Date(s) requested (weekend only)
    • Start and end times for access/HVAC
    • Exterior door(s) to be unlocked
    • Room number(s) (HVAC units are associated with each room number)
    • AC unit(s) (Matador Information Portal - MIP)

Please note that some buildings, such as the Dairy Barn and McClellan Hall, manage their own air and access and do not appear on the weekend report. Doak has continuous air but still require access scheduling, so we’ll need those times as well. Drane will need to be scheduled using the request form. If you are meeting in offices we will need each individual office number.
