The purpose of this guide is to assist on and off campus organizations in planning successful events and programs that are consistent with USC and University policies and procedures. The policies are designed to facilitate the event planning process and to ensure the safety and well- being of the members of the campus community.

USC Reservations prides itself on establishing, maintaining, and encouraging a rich array of activities. Helping students get involved in the life of the university as spectators, participants and leaders is part of the mission of the University Students’ Council to enhance the educational experience of all undergraduates at Western. We encourage organizations to develop events that enhance a sense of community, value diversity and honour tradition. We hope that your experiences with planning and participating in activities are enjoyable and rewarding.

USC Reservations offers an array of facilities that may be reserved for meetings, socials, speakers, and other events. Representatives of organizations seeking use of USC event facilities should complete an application form. There are over 75 USC Student Coordinators, 200 registered student organizations and many university departments that compete for event space throughout the year. To secure space for your event, you are encouraged to make your reservations and complete arrangements well in advance of your event.
