Event Payments

Effective May 1, 2023

The service and cost recovery model Campus Events (CE) maintained from its time as part of Academic + Campus Events (ACE), relied heavily on fees from external rentals to offset the staffing and administrative costs for CE staff to support internal and institutional events and conferences.

The substantial issues with the business model pre and post pandemic highlighted the immediate need for a more sustainable cost recovery model to facilitate internal activities and recover full time staffing costs.

The revised cost recovery model provides a consistent framework to support internal activities while offsetting the staffing and administrative costs for Campus Events planning and expertise in operations as well as the coordination of service order arrangements and requests. 

All internal activities booked in centrally shared classroom spaces on the St. George Campus including auditorium, lobby, and outdoor spaces that require the coordination of onsite services coordinated by Campus Events such as furniture and poster board reconfigurations, caretaking, grounds, security, access arrangements transportation services, campus safety, and communications 

Recognized Student Groups that have been officially recognized by the University through the Student Organization Portal can continue to book spaces with Campus Events.

Recognized Student Groups will not be charged for the use of space; however, they will be held responsible for any additional costs incurred to Campus Events. These are usually overtime costs for Caretaking, Campus Moving, or Security. Please check the requirements by visiting the Recognized Student Groups booking page with additional FAQs which can be found here.

Learning Space Management will continue to facilitate all academic space requirements as well as basic classroom booking requests including those for departments and faculties that do not require any service order arrangements or logistical review at no charge.

Costs for space coordination and facility and service charges will be billed directly to the department or faculty to the FIS numbers provided on the internal event request form.
