SCRIPPS CAMPUS EVENT REQUEST PROCESS
· All campus event requests must be submitted through VEMS.
· Submitting an event request does not guarantee that the event or space will be approved. Your event is not confirmed until you receive an email confirmation from the Office of Events and Conference Services.
· Events should not be promoted internally or externally until Events and Conference Services has approved the event and location.
Academic Classes published in the 5C semester course schedule take priority!
· The Events department works diligently with the Registrar’s office to ensure that class listings in EMS are correctly reserved and confirmed.
· There are instances where unforeseen scheduling conflicts may occur. If a class is in session during the time of your reservation, please reach out directly to Events at events@scrippscollege.edu.
· The events team will make every effort to find you an alternative space for your program. Any class that is part of the Scripps curriculum will take precedence; therefore, your program or event location will change.
