Usage Fee Memorandum (2021-Current)

Internal departments (such as academic departments and administrative offices) pay no usage fees but rather are billed prorated fees for any resources requested. These amounts help defray the cost of wear and tear for items such as LCD projectors and table skirting.
External organizations (off-campus, non-affiliated companies) pay usage fees to host events on-campus. These fees are based on 8-hour increments and are inclusive of all standard room set-up, custodial, and A/V needs.
Internal Departments sponsoring External events (majority of the participants/attendees being external) pay a reduced usage fee to host the event on campus. These fees are based on 8-hour increments and are inclusive of all standard room set-up, custodial and A/V needs.
