UREC Reservation Basics

View UREC's Reservations and Events Policies and Procedures here, which includes information about rehearsals and practices, walks and runs, special structures, and more.

  • Event requests must be made 2 weeks prior to event date. 
  • Your event may require a meeting with Reservations and Events staff to discuss logistics and event planning. You will be notified if a meeting is required.
  • If your request requires space rental fees and/or special staffing, you will be contacted with further details.
  • After you’ve made your reservation, you may also need to submit a JMU Event Approval Form and gather the appropriate signatures for your event.
  • Cancellations must be made 48 hours prior to the event. Failure to do so will result in the loss of privileges to reserve space in the future. If a cancellation is not made 48 hours prior to the event, groups may be charged a cancellation fee.
  • In the event of inclement weather, your event may be delayed or cancelled.
  • If fees occur, an invoice will be sent after the event.
