Step-by-Step Guide:

Internal Reservations

(for campus departments, programs, and employees)

1. Submit Your Request

Start by using the  Facilities Use Internal Application to submit your event reservation. This places a temporary hold on your requested date. 

 

• Submit at least 30 days in advance to give enough buffer for approvals and coordination. Please allow 7-10 days for processing.
  
• Events that include other organizations may require longer lead time or additional paperwork.
• For availability and updates, visit 25Live

Make sure your application mentions any of the following, if they apply:

 

1. Charging admission
   
2. Handling funds
   
3. On-site vendors
   
4. Paid volunteers
   
5. Minors attending
   
6. Existing partnerships
   
7. Catering services
   
8. Alcohol service
   

These conditions may trigger extra policies or approvals.

 

2. Complete Required Documentation

Please submit the following:

• Setup Diagram
• Certificate of Insurance (if applicable)
  • This needs to be approved, so plan ahead to allow for processing time. Insurance requirements are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the district’s Risk Management team. Contact Francys Ropohl, Health and Safety Specialist, for guidance.

You can submit these along with your reservation form or attach them later by sending them to: salma.apple@gcccd.edu.

 

3. Go Through the Approval Process

Your request and paperwork will be reviewed by designated administrators, President's Cabinet, and may even require the Chancellor’s approval for events during campus closures or sundays.

 

4. Confirmation 

Once your documentation is approved, the administration and accounting teams coordinate to finalize the booking (and process any necessary payments) to ensure we have the resources and approvals necessary to grant your request.

 

You will receive an email confirmation and your reservation will be 'confirmed' on 25Live.

 Tips for Smooth Processing

• Apply early, especially for events with special needs or involving external parties.
  
• Be transparent on your application, flagging details like minors, funds, or vendors avoids surprises later.
  
• Double-check documentation, requests must be submitted and insurance properly approved to avoid delays.
  
• Stay in touch! If there's anything unique about your event, consider reaching out proactively to clarify needs or policies.
