We are happy to provide support and advising for your event. Whether it's embedded video, wireless microphones, or a musical performance; we are dedicated to making sure that all your technical requirements are met.

If you are looking for that perfect place to hold your campus meeting, we can help you find the right room. All events large and small, our experienced staff is ready to help you plan the perfect event. We will design a room layout, provide reservation confirmation and confer with you to ensure that you have a quality event.

Are you worried about those last minute needs? Our staff is on-site and on-call for your convenience. We are here to help direct attendees, ensure event setup, check-in for AV, and anything else you may need.

If you are looking to schedule an event or make changes to an event up to 72 hours before your reservation you will need to contact our office directly, our staff can assist you in person or over the phone. Please note that this is for events only; classes for credit are still processed through Academic Scheduling.

Please make sure your request is accurate. Room access will be prohibited outside of reservation start and end times. Because of this, please discuss your set up and tear down needs with your event planner. Departments and clubs are free to schedule up to one year in advance. Facilities are reserved in the order in which requests are received; with consideration given to group size, the type of program and available space. Management reserves the right to assign, and if necessary, reassign facilities to assure the most efficient and appropriate use of the facilities.

1. Groups or individuals sponsoring an event are responsible for the actions of all participants. Willful violation or negligence of this understanding by the group or individual may result in the loss of scheduling privileges.
2. University Center equipment (tables, chairs, AV, etc.) is a student fee funded purchase and is therefore restricted to use within the University.
3. A representative of the group must remain on site until the event is completed and all participants and/or outside vendors or performers have left the premises. Customers are responsible for removing all equipment, decorations, and other equipment at the conclusion of the event, otherwise clean up fees may apply.
4. Only food & beverages ordered through the UCCS's Dining and Food Services may be served on campus. Exceptions to the catering requirement need to be requested in advance of scheduling via this form and must have approval from The Director of the University Center.

Events charging attendees an admission fee, requesting donations or hosting a fundraiser are subject to rental fees. The University Center will open early, close late, or open on days it is normally closed. An hourly labor fee (1 hr. min.) applies for holidays or extended hour reservations.

We are happy to offer a centralized Event Services operation; representing all event areas on campus. Let us know what type of event or meeting you are planning and we can help find the right location, coordinate the set-up of your room, place a catering order, secure parking for your guests and much more. Please note University Center equipment (tables, chairs, AV, etc) is a student fee funded purchase and is therefore restricted to use on campus only. There are some locations on campus we do not have the ability to support, your event planner will work with you on outside rentals if that is the case with your event.

We ask that all event requests and arrangements be submitted at least one week ahead of your scheduled event and no less than 72 hours in advance of your event. Any changes to the initial reservation must be authorized and confirmed by the University Center Scheduling Coordinator.

Clients can request an exemption to bring in outside food, a request must be submitted via an exemption form. All requests will be reviewed by the Director of the University Center, if the request is denied the client must go through UCCS Dining and Hospitality to get food for the event. All order must be placed with event services, please work with you event planner to do so. 
4. Storage - At its discretion, the University may agree to store a limited number of boxes and materials delivered within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the program/event.

If noise complaints are received from the surrounding community, the University Police will have the authority to ask event sponsors to lower the sound level or if necessary terminate the event.
7. Equipment Rental - Specialty audio/visual, lighting, and equipment needs beyond the University Centers inventory can be arranged for an additional fee. Rental equipment is subject to terms and agreements through a 3rd party vendor and may differ depending on request. Late cancellations, administrative fees, harmless liabilities may apply.
