General Process

To request a room, please complete the Room Reservation Request Form (RRRF). An incomplete RRRF will not be processed. All requests must include an Emory FAS account number. Please submit your request 2 weeks before you need the classroom. Your request will be reviewed to see if space is available. If space is available, it will be reviewed for approval. If approved, your room selection or the best available room will be reserved and we will notify you by email with a confirmation. If room is unavailable or if your request was denied, you will be notified by email. The SON is not responsible for finding an alternative event space if it is not held in the School.

Any student requesting a meeting room must list the faculty sponsor on the RRRF. The faculty sponsors will be considered responsible for our facilities and the event, and they must attend the event.

All communications from the School will be to the person named as the requestor.

Please email son-reservations@listserv.cc.emory.edu immediately with any changes and/or cancellations to your booked event.
