Once your application has been received, our staff will take an initial review to ensure the application meets all requirements and verify that the requested date and time are available.
    • The event will then be reviewed by the Assistant Director of Programs to determine if there are any additional needs for your event. This may require a meeting between the event leaders and the Assistant Director of Programs or facility staff. Approval and a pending reservation may be granted at this time.
    • Once the initial review is completed, Campus Recreation will provide you with a cost estimate for your event. At this time, method of payment must be declared. Event charges are due thirty days following the event.

  6. Please contact Laruen Mulligan if you have any further questions or need clarification at (727) 873-4141.
