Events can occur in either on or off-campus locations.
On-campus events scheduled on weekends (Friday and Saturday) must end no later than 1 AM. On-campus events scheduled on weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) must end no later than 12 AM.
Off-campus events must have music turned off and lights turned on no later than 2 AM.
The Office of Student Life, in conjunction with UCA PD, may approve end time extensions on a case by case basis.
No events can be held during Welcome Week, Study Day, or Finals week.
Events cannot interfere with residence hall quiet hours, residents living near campus, night classes or other university scheduled events (including but not limited to events in SFA, the Student Center, Intramural Sports, Athletic Practices at the Indoor Practice Center, etc.). The scheduling office staff will be responsible for determining if an event interferes with classes or other scheduled events.
Reserving Event Space
Events should have locations approved prior to registration on CubConnect.
Most areas on campus available for online reservation utilize the Virtual EMS platform for scheduling. On the Virtual EMS platform you will also find “Tutorials” on the reservation process and a list of “Other Locations” that can be reserved but are not on Event Scheduling website.
Most locations utilized by RSOs are coordinated by either the Centralized Scheduling Office or Student Center Scheduling Office.
Additional information regarding event space on campus and reservation processes can be found here.
