Select Create a Reservation to reserve or request space and a list of templates, some campus and some SMPH will load up.

SMPH assigns a standard grouping of templates based on your SMPH status (employee, student or departmental only)

The list of templates assigned to you will have SMPH – before the spaces you have access to.  These typically include HSLC, CSC, WIMR and MFCB, among others.  Dates for how far out you can book are based on template type which is based on priorities for SMPH for courses and education.  The About Button will have these dates listed.

To view information about the template, click the About button.

To request or reserve space, click the Book Now button.

To book one reservation for one day with one or a few rooms, add the information of the Date*, Start time, and End time.

Note regarding locked doors – in HSLC after hours and on the weekends, most locks are controlled by an online locking system fed from your reservation.  If you want your doors unlocked by a certain time, you need to make sure your start time is when you want the doors unlocked, not your event start time.

To book one reservation with Multi Bookings in a Series over time with recurring meetings (weekly or monthly) click here for instructions on building a series reservation.

Rooms available for booking in your requested date and time search will have a green circle with a white cross in it.  To book the space, click the green circle with the white plus sign next to the room you would like to book.

A pop up window will ask you for the attendance and may fill with pre-loaded room type. Fill the attendance expected in and click Add Room button.

Click as many rooms by clicking the green circle and the white plus sign as are available and that you want during your requested date and times search.

The next window will display the room or rooms selected. See the yellow circle for one room chosen. Notice the booking grid no longer has that space as an option to book as the green circle with the white cross is missing.

If you would like to add another room to the same reservation, repeat this process.  Below you can see two rooms circled in yellow are booked under one reservation. You can also change the dates and times for a second booking and so on.

When you have all the rooms booked on one reservation, click Create Reservation.
