Facility Reservations
JMU recognized student organizations and departments begin requests to reserve UREC spaces in the Virtual Event Management Software (EMS). You can log in with your MyMadison credentials. Faculty and staff have access and anyone can browse for space. All student organizations must first have a certified student event planner within their org to use the EMS Software. Visit the Student Event Planner Certification website to view the training and complete the test for certification.
Non-JMU affiliated groups can contact the Interim Coordinator for Reservations and Events to inquire about rentals.
Request Guidelines
- 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.
- Event requests must be made 2 weeks prior to event date.
- 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 your request requires space rental fees and/or special staffing, you will be contacted with further details.
- If fees occur, an invoice will be sent after the event.
- 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.
