Why does Event Management Services require Event Requesters?

An Event Requester is the go-to contact for placing, modifying, confirming and cancelling requests between Event Management and your department or Contracted Independent Organization (CIO). To ensure that requests are booked efficiently, we require that departments and CIOs submit requests through a designated Event Requester. This relationship streamlines communication between your group and the Event Coordinators in our office, and ensuring familiarity with the systems, policies, room setups, available equipment, schedules, forms, etc. 

What about Academic Spaces and other Schedulers? (Student Groups)

Requests for academic spaces are made through 25Live.  Event Requesters are NOT required for requests made through 25Live.

Our office only processes requests made through 25Live for academic spaces made by CIOs (departments must email [email protected]). Requests for academic spaces must be submitted at least three business days before the event date or they will be cancelled. 

Intramural-Recreational Sports Locations, including Carr's Hill Field, Lambeth Field, Mad Bowl, etc. are managed through this reservation system.

Designating an Event Requester

How does a CIO designate an Event Requester?

Each CIO will have two event requestors based on their roster in Hoos Involved. The President and Vice President listed on the roster will be pulled into our database when we run the update allowing those users to login to EMS with their NetBadge.

To update your event requesters, your organization should ensure that the President and Vice President are listed correctly on your organization’s roster. Organizations with two presidents will allow both presidents to become event requestors in EMS. Changes will take 24-48 hours to process. If your account is not activated within 48 hours, please contact [email protected].

How does a department designate an Event Requester?

Departments may have up to two Event Requesters (if you feel you need additional Event Requesters, please contact us).
