• Faculty members may begin submitting requests for space for their own recitals and those of guest artists for the upcoming academic year in the week before spring break of the previous year. Faculty members should refrain from scheduling these events in April and/or May whenever possible in order to keep venues free for student recitals.

These events may not be scheduled during spring break, Thanksgiving recess, between semesters, or on major holidays observed by the University.
