The purpose of a room reservation policy is to manage the usage of university facilities and resources for internal and external groups. Facility rental fees apply to select groups as defined below.

Internal Groups are defined as academic departments, registered student organizations, and administrative units that hold meetings for their staffs and members and may include specific Jesuit Community events. There will be no charge for this type of meeting.

External Affiliated Groups are defined as University departments holding events at Loyola University Chicago that include outside participants and charge an admission/registration fee, or act as a host to an outside organization. These events must be contracted, and appropriate service fees apply. For additional information  and planning assistance, please contact Conference Services.

External Groups are defined as any outside group not hosted by a university department or registered student organization. These groups must work with Conference Services directly for their events.
