Submit your request as early as possible in the planning process, as all services are available on a first-come-first-served basis. Upon submission of this form, you will receive a detailed email of your request upon submission of this form. Please retain the email for your records.

If we need clarification about your request, we will contact you directly. Once your event has been scheduled, we will send you, any contact(s), and any account signer(s), a confirmation email with a work order number.

All student and student organization requests must be submitted through the Office of the Dean of Students at least 14 days prior to the event. Please contact 512-471-3065 to schedule an appointment with a staff member from the Office of the Dean of Students to submit your work order.
