Pershing Arena (PB 120)

Organizations attempting to reserve Pershing Arena should be specifically aware of the following policy regarding priority usage:

All reservations by Chartered Campus Organizations, Divisions or Departments may be cancelled if circumstances (i.e. weather) force higher priority groups to move their activity into the requested area.  Athletics and HES have until noon on the day in question to decide to move their activity into the facility.

Groups with reservations that are affected by the priority system should secure a back-up location and understand their reservation may be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.  Those groups will be promptly notified if their reservation is being cancelled.

There is a limit of two practices and/or meetings that any organization can have in one week.  

Organizations and users must read and agree to the Pershing Arena Usage Policies.  Each organization must submit this form only once per calendar year.
