How can a department representative reserve a room?
If the department "owns" the room:
The department's room scheduling representative can schedule the room prior to the freeze, and for the open class scheduling period after the freeze.
If the department does not "own" the room:
The department's room scheduling representative should send an email to ro.curriculum@umich.edu. The email must include the date, time (beginning and end time including any set up or take down time), number of seats needed, and reason for the request. If a specific room or media is needed, this information should also be included.
To request a classroom or auditorium for a NON-CLASS EVENT:
If the department "owns" the room:
The department's room scheduling representative must enter the request in M-Pathways (Campus Community > Campus Event Planning > Event Management > Meeting Data Entry or Meetings or Event) . The facility request status can be set to "approved" by the department.
If the department does not "own" the room:
The facility request status can be set to "requested" by the department. The "requested" status prompts the owner to check availability, and set the facility request status to "approved" or "not available". When the facility request status is updated by the room owner, an automated email message is sent to the requestor.
Room requests cannot be accepted via telephone, although we welcome calls looking for clarification or direction.
