Recurring Meetings

 

Recurring meetings can be scheduled from July to June of any given fiscal year. It is the responsibility of the person requesting the appointment or their administrative associate to update the recurring meeting in May (no earlier) for the upcoming year. There will be no “end of year” reminders to conference room users. If a person fails to schedule a recurring meeting and another meeting is scheduled at that time slot, the individuals who requested the reservation will work together to resolve the issue. If no resolution can be obtained, the person who scheduled the time slot first is assigned the conference room. 

 

Student Study Groups
 

OSC conference rooms are reserved for faculty and administrative meetings. However, a student study group can reserve a conference room no more than one week in advance of the anticipated meeting date. Student group reservations may be bumped at the discretion of the dean or a faculty member’s request for use.

 

Student study groups cannot schedule recurring meetings in the OSC conference rooms.

 

Supplies

 

Coffee supplies are provided by the Dean’s Office for all conference rooms as the budget allows. However, prior to their scheduled appointment, the person reserving or using the room is responsible for checking inventory of supplies and picking up necessary supplies as needed from the Dean’s Office.

 

Dry erase markers and erasers are ordered and provided by the Dean’s Office as budget allows.
