Got a creative idea? Planning a donation drive? Want to decorate a window or hang a banner? The Commons has you covered!

Student organizations can now submit requests for select Commons spaces using our Commons Flex Space Request Form, available on the “Reserve a Space” page of our website.

Use this form for :

  • lobby, public area, or hallway usage
