Reservation Rules and Guidelines

• Always leave at least one hour between all reservations. If extensive set-up or breakdown is required, at least two hours should be allotted for this. Extensive set-up would include anything beyond a couple of tables or a single piece of media equipment. Seating changes, more than two tables, or complex media set-up should be allotted at least two hours. Also be aware that 8 AM events require set-up at night. If there is an 8 AM event, we need to allow the same amount of time for cleaning and set-up the night before.
  
• Events that will last past 10 PM should be scheduled into Woods-Penniman, since that building is open 24-hours. There may be some exceptions to this such as Homecoming and Orientation weekends, but those will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
  
• In the instance of groups making all day or several day reservations for a single event, we need to know what time the event will actually take place as well as what time the group expects set-up to be completed. For example, the Cosmopolitan Club might reserve the Commons for all day Fri. and Sat. However, they might want the room set-up on Fri. so they can decorate on Sat. and hold the banquet on Sat. evening at 7 PM. It is important that we know when set-up needs to be completed as well as what time the event will occur.
  
• Limit reservations of the Corner Pocket. The Corner Pocket needs to remain open for the general student body to use as much as possible. Only specific Berea College events such as Orientation and Homecoming should have Corner Pocket reservations.
• The Corner Pocket is a college space designed for student recreational use. Only specific Berea College events such as Orientation and Homecoming should have Corner Pocket reservations. Non-college students which includes children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the corner pocket.
