Reserve a Space

A Registered Student Organization is defined as a group of at least four currently enrolled FGCU students who unite to promote a common interest.  To see if you are considered a fully active and registered student organization, visit EagleLink.

A student organization must be acknowledged as a Registered Student Organization with the Office of Student Involvement in order to reserve space on campus at no charge.  If the student organization is not an RSO they will be treated as a private organization. Click here for information on reserving space for an Outside Group.

All RSO event requests must be made at least 14 days prior to the planned event.  Requests that come in with less than 14 days notice will be denied and asked to reschedule to a later date.

It is the RSO's responsibility to submit an Event Planning Form online at fgcu.campuslabs.com/engage at least 14 days prior to the event date.  In addition to the Event Planning Form, the 25Live confirmation sent to you from Campus Reservations must also be submitted electronically through EagleLink.

If the Event Planning Form and 25Live confirmation have not been submitted prior to the 14 day deadline, the Office of Student Involvement will notify Campus Reservations that the event has been cancelled. Your event will also be cancelled if the Office of Campus Reservations has not secured all of your event details at least 14 days in advance.

1.  Start by checking availability on our Calendars by Location. 

• Here you can check in real-time to see if and when a space is available. You can even view a photo of many of our indoor spaces by clicking on the location name. 

2.  Next, fill out the University Course Related Activity Form.

• This form must be completed by the student, signed by the professor and turned in to Campus Reservations before we can process your request for reserving space on campus as part of a class project, or to make a table reservation for a course-related activity, (An email from the professor to Campus Reservations approving the request will also suffice in the event that a physical signature on the form is not possible.)
  

• The purpose of this form is to verify that the student is currently enrolled in the course as well as to verify that the activity is approved by both the Office of Campus Reservations and the course professor. 

3. Once the form has been completed and the professor has signed the form, the primary student contact and any other individuals may visit Campus Reservations to have their event approved and reserve space. Space will not be reserved prior to receiving the professor's approval.
