Room Requests for the new fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th) can be submitted for approval the beginning of March of each year. Any request for the next fiscal year received before that date will be denied.
In self-service, users can see what rooms are available and place a “hold” on a room pending APPROVAL by Room Reservations. APPROVAL will depend on appropriate use of the room, etc. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received and require approval.
