Toggle ItemWhen should I schedule?How soon you should submit your requests depend on the complexity of your event. The minimum lead time is the same day for a room with no setup; more complex event planning needs to begin as soon as academic scheduling for the semester is published.

Toggle ItemHow do I schedule a room?Scheduling a room can be done by phoning (808) 675-3784, by visiting the Event Services & Outreach ffice in the Lorenzo Snow Administration Building room 218, or by yourself by requesting to activate your scheduling account by completing the University Scheduling Account Activation Request .

Toggle ItemHow do I schedule additional support (custodial, audio/visual support, catering, dance music and DJ)?BYU–Hawaii has centralized scheduling. The availability of the needed resources is just as critical to scheduling as finding open space. Submit your request for custodial setups, audio/visual support, catering, etc. the same time you request your room. All campus dances must be coordinated through Seasider Sports & Activities. If catering is involved, work directly with Catering for selections.
