Reservation Procedure
GSRC accepts reservations during the academic year. Reservations will open at the start of the Fall Quarter and will be processed on a first-come first-serve basis throughout the academic year.
- Please review our building policies and procedures. By submitting a request, you agree to follow policies and procedures when using GSRC spaces for formal and informal purposes.
- Submitting a request does not serve as an official confirmation of a room request reservation.
- All requests are subject to review. Please allow GSRC staff respond at least 1 week to respond to your request.
- GSRC spaces are available to reserve throughout the Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters, while classes are in session. GSRC will review Summer reservations requests on a case-by-case basis. Please email GSRC@northwestern.edu with your summer request.
Email GSRC@northwestern.edu with any questions you have.
Virtual EMS
Student Organizations, students, and on-campus departments must have an active Virtual EMS reservation account to reserve space in our three spaces.
- Virtual EMS must identify you as someone who can make reservations for a specific group(s)
- Virtual EMS requestor must be the same name as the contact name (i.e., you may not make reservations for someone else using your group’s name or your name)
- You must register with your Northwestern University email account.
- If you are a student that is unaffiliated with a student organization and want to reserve as space, please create an Virtual EMS account and use "MSA Student Client" as the department you are authorized to make a request on behalf of.
- Please note, the GSRC will purge all users registered a "MSA Student Client" during the summer. Unaffiliated students will need to make a new request to be added to the MSA Student Client list every Fall.
