Space Requests

Registered Student Organizations can only request space through UISConnection. This is done by “Creating Event”.
Campus departments with UISConnection pages, as well as Resident Assistants can do so in the same way.
If your campus department does not have a UISConnection page, Student Union spaces can be requested through our Student Union Space Request Form. SLB Gym can be requested via email to studentlife@uis.edu
New forming organizations needing space to meet prior to completing registration should contact our office at studentlife@uis.edu for assistance
