UAF Event Request Form

All events require an event request form. This form ensures that you have all the required paperwork needed to comply with university policy.  The information you compiled in the getting started section will assist you in filling out this form. It is important to have as much information available ahead of time as possible. Editing the form can only be done by the University Relations and departmental Public Information Officers. It is in your best interest to make sure you are communicating with CNSMs Fiscal Manager and PIO when planning your event.

The university utilizes the 25Live system for both on-campus room reservations and event requests. You can do directly to the form using the button below, or through the room reservation system. See Room Reservations for more information.

Reserving a Venue

On campus:

For on-campus events, the first thing you want to do is determine what spaces are available to host your event. To search availability on campus, visit. From here you will have two options:

1. You can either use the “Quick Search”, “Locations” option or the “Public Locations Searches”. Both will allow you to refine your search by type. The searches will give you availability information as well as room capacity and resources.
2. Sign in using your UA credentials and on the home screen under “Find Available Locations” select either “I know when my event should take place – help me find a location!” or “I know where my event should take place – help me choose a time!” and enter your search information.

Using option 2 will allow you to click on “use this location” from there you can begin the event request form. Make sure you have all the necessary information before filling out this form, including an event description. Make sure to select that you are part of CNSM so that the Public Information Officer is notified.

Note: If you plan to change the floor plan from its original layout, such as adding or rearranging tables, you will need to submit a floor plan for approval by the fire marshal.

Off campus:

Off-campus venues cannot be booked through the 25Live system. These will need to be booked independently then listed as the event location(s) in the event form. If you know where you want to hold your event, you can contact the venue directly.

Remember, you cannot sign a contract on behalf of the university. You need a UAF signing designee to sign.

If you do not yet know where you will host your event, you can submit a through. They will solicit proposals on your behalf to local venues and package that information for you. The information will include all venues available during your event window along with services available, price quotes, and points of contact. From there you can reach out to your venue to begin the process or schedule a site visit. Explore ����vlog���� also offers other services for events held in ����vlog���� that invite visitors from outside ����vlog����. More information can be found on their.

You will need to include venue information in your event request. If your venue isn’t listed in the 25Live system, select “Other” and notify your PIO.

Lodging

For multi-day events lodging is often something that event planners help to coordinate, even if the event is not paying for lodging.

University Guest Housing

The ����vlog���� offers Guest Housing through the Department of Residence Life. Overnight lodging through Guest Housing is fee based. The Department of Residence Life offers overnight lodging to UAF-affiliated guests for stays generally 30-days or less. Depending on when your event occurs, on-campus lodging may be an option. Learn more the Residence Life Guest Housing page or on their FAQ.

Local Hotel Room Blocks

Local hotel room blocks are another great option. You can reach out to specific hotels depending on how many rooms you will need or you can submit a  through. Many times, depending on the number of rooms, the hotels may provide a discounted “conference rate”. These rooms would be booked using a discount code, etc. by the attendee, before a certain date. After that date, the rooms would be released back to the hotel. There is no contract needed to secure a room block.

Catering

The university offers catering through Chartwells. They can provide food for on and off campus events, as well as boxed offerings for field trips.

You will need to create an account with and submit an order through Chartwells. Through their website you can select from several options or you can contact the to discuss customized menu options as well as discuss dietary restrictions and issues.

You may choose to bring in food from an off-campus vendor. For health and safety, a Food and Beverage Application must be submitted by any group that intends to provide food on University property that is not prepared by Chartwells/UAF Catering.

• It is recommended that food purchases are made AFTER approval has been obtained through the Food and Beverage Application process.
• The Food and Beverage Application must be submitted 14 calendar days prior to the event to Dining Services and Contract Operations at uaf‐dining@alaska.edu.
• Additional information and approvals may be required by the Fire Marshal, Risk Management, or other authorities.

For off-campus events, you do not need to fill out the Food and Beverage Application, but you do need to fill out the.

Alcohol

Alcohol may be served at UAF events provided the appropriate policies are followed.

This UAF Alcohol Beverage Application must be submitted for all events where alcoholic beverages will be served on University property or UAF events located off-campus. This form must be RECEIVED by email, uaf-dining@alaska.edu, no less than 28 days prior to the event. Late requests may be denied.

It is important to note whether your funding source authorizes the purchase of alcohol. For example, government employee registration fees may not go toward the purchase of alcohol.

There are many options for serving alcohol at your event, make sure to discuss options with your caterer and venue coordinator.

Chartering Transportation

Whether you’re looking to transport your attendees between event locations or on a field trip or you need to move supplies to the event venue, chartering transportation is tricky to navigate.  You have a few options.
