Requesting an Event

 

If you have access as a Guest or registered user to submit event requests online, you will see a link in the Main Menu titled Request Events (depending on your system's configuration, this link title may be different.) After submission, your event request will be considered by the appropriate event coordinator on campus and you will be contacted about questions, concerns or confirmation details.

 

 

To submit a request for an event:

  1. Click Request Events in the Main Menu. The Event Information page is displayed.

Event Information
 

  1. Enter a name, attendance estimate, privacy level, and event type (if available) for the event. There are three options in the Privacy Level drop down menu: Public, Semi-Private, and Private. Generally, public events may be viewed by everyone, including guests and non-registered users. Semi-Private and Private events are often only visible to privileged, registered users. The event approver may edit any event information for appropriateness, including privacy level, before event confirmation.
     

  2. Complete the customer and contact details. If you are a registered user and are logged into your account, any customer and contact information you completed previously will automatically populate the displayed fields. If you are a guest or have not previously entered customer and contact information, you will need to complete this information.

Note: Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

 

Check the box labeled Contact Info same as Customer Info to copy the customer information into the contact fields.
