Important Reminders
When making a request through Web App, remember the following:
-
- When creating a new request, search for space using the actual start and end time of the reservation (event, meeting, or tabling). If you require extra time before for setup or breakdown, enter this in the Reservation Details section. There will be questions that ask specifically for your requested arrival and departure times.
For example, if you have a meeting from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., and you would like the room starting at 6:30 p.m. for setup, enter 6:00 p.m. in the question box. - All reservation details (furniture, equipment, A/V, dedicated staffing, food/beverage plans, activities, etc.) must be entered in your Web App request.
- Food and beverage are NOT booked through the Student Union Administration. You are responsible for informing the Student Union about your intended F&B plans and, after approval, making the arrangements yourself.
- Your request will be reviewed by Student Union staff. After initial review, you will receive an email indicating your reservation has been given “Tentative” or “Tentative Shared Space” status. At that point, you are responsible for providing all additional information requested by your Event Coordinator and returning required paperwork by the deadline, in order for the reservation to receive “Confirmed” status. Your reservation is NOT made until it receives “Confirmed” status.

Why can’t I find the room I want to reserve in EMS Web App?
If a room is not on the list of available space when you log in, it may be for one of the following reasons.
- The room is unavailable. Try searching for another space, date, and/or time.
- You do not have reservation rights for that space. If you believe this is in error, contact su.reservations@unf.edu.
- You may be using the incorrect Reservation Template. From the My Reservations Template list, choose the template that corresponds to the type of space you’d like to book.

-
Why can’t I select a date for next semester or year?
Spaces are made available one semester in advance on a designated date and time. If you are unable to select a date further out in Web App, then reservations have not opened yet for that semester.
Timelines for opening will be sent via Osprey Update to students, faculty, and staff and posted on the Reservations webpage.
-
I am a UNF student. Can I book space for myself instead of on behalf of a Student Organization?
Individual students who book space at the Student Union are considered external users and are subject to External Group rates and policies.
Only Registered Student Organizations and Greek chapters are eligible to receive student pricing (usually 100% discounted).
