Step-by-step instructions on how to use the Event Planning Tool

1. Complete all required fields below and include as much information as possible on your event. Required fields are marked with *.
Note: The more detailed information you can provide the better the support services departments can help you in the execution of your event. A failure to provide all necessary information will result in a delay of approval.

- For requesting venues for subsequent events over several weeks or months, separate requests are required for each event. Only events with consecutive days can be done with one request.
- The start time & end time signifies the start and end time of the event itself and will be reflected as such on the community calendar. If setup or take down requires more than one day, please submit an additional request to block the space. If less than one day is required, please include all relevant information in the ‘comment box’.
- The use of event spaces for recurring Curricular / Academic Events (events and activities that occur 3 or more times within a semester) require a written approval and endorsement from the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, copy of which needs to be attached to the Event Booking Tool request.
- If you have any questions regarding the classification or category of your event, please refer to the Event Guidelines on the intranet.

2. When finished, click the ‘Submit Request’ button.
Note: You will receive an automated email confirming your submission which is not a confirmation of your request!

3. All requests are checked for completion and consistency. They must be approved by the Event Manager before becoming an official event and being included in VCUarts Qatar Community Calendar.

4. Once the request is approved, you will receive a second automated email confirming your event, i.e. the booking of the event space and the inclusion of the event in the VCUarts Qatar Community Calendar.

5. Upon approval the other relevant support services departments will be notified depending on your requirements, i.e. Facilities, Safety & Security, Technology Services and Communications.

6. An event approval means that its date, time and venue as well as setup and requirements are approved. Only date or time changes will be accepted on a previously approved event. Any changes on other details and execution plans require the submission of a new request and a cancellation of the old requests.

Please note any request within 5 business days before your event may not be supported. If you have any questions about this form, please contact the Event Manager Maya Roeder at roederm2@vcu.edu or 44020682
