- A lead time is required for events requiring set-up, equipment, supervision or custodial services. Any request with less than two weeks notice will be rejected.
- Gymnasium in the Health and Wellness Center is not reserved for student events or team practice during the fall, winter or spring terms.
- Gymnasium priorities are for their intended purpose, football, Frisbee, baton twirling, etc., are not space appropriate activities.
- Some events hosted by Campus Recreation are not to be played outside of their scheduled game time (i.e. Dodge Ball). Practice time for such activities is not permitted.
