Registered Student Organization Reservation Requests
Registered Student Organizations (RSO) are required to initiate the facility reservation request with the office of Student Life and First Year Experience. Visit the CampusLab site to begin the registration process if you are requesting space on behalf of a student organization. If your RSO is considered a Club Sport by Campus Recreation, please contact the Assistant Director of Competitive Sports.
Facility Reservation Requests for One-Time or Recurring Events
A 2 week notice is preferred, and completion of the Facility Reservation Request Form is required for a request to be considered. All Campus Recreation facilities are reserved on a “first come, first served basis” after all of the needs of the primary users/groups have been met (Students/Patrons of the facility).
Once a Facility Reservation Request Form has been submitted, the Assistant Director of Memberships and Outreach will follow up via email or by phone to discuss the request.
If you are interested in scheduling a Birthday Bash, complete the Birthday Bash Reservation Form.
Are you an “internal” or an “external” group?
University Departments and Organizations are considered “Internal” and can reserve Campus Recreation facilities without being charged for the use of the space, but other charges may be required (staff, equipment, ect.) depending on the nature of the request.
“External” (non-EKU affilliated) requests will be charged for using the space in addition to other resource charges (if applicable). External requestors are responsible for supplying a certificate of liability insurance as well as sign and return a facility use contract, which will be provided during the event planning process.
Other Items to Consider When Making Your Request:
When considering reservation requests, our primary goal is to provide facilities that are routinely available, accessible, safe, and clean for the entire university community. In order to support our Department Mission, we have established facility policies for each of the various activity spaces within the Student Recreation Center and satellite facilities. To begin, see our spaces available to reserve and review our policies. These policies should be reviewed and understood prior to requesting a reservation.
The confirmation of the reservation will depend on the following criteria:
- Completion of Reservation Request Form

- Scope and nature of the event
- Congruence with all state, university, and departmental regulations
- Impact to existing programs and schedules
