Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), Campus Life Programs (CLPs), and UMD departments are eligible to table in Kirby Commons for no fee.
Tabling is a privilege granted to student organizations, not a right. Kirby Student Center staff reserve the right to ask a group to leave the tabling area, or deny future tabling requests, if the guidelines below are not followed.
Reserving a Table
- Tables are available Monday-Friday, 9:00AM-3:00PM.
- Tables must be reserved online using Mazévo. Each table reservation will include one 5-foot strip table with two chairs.
- As with meeting rooms, tables must be reserved by a student member of the organization. Advisors or other non-student representatives are not allowed to place reservations on behalf of the organization.
- Reservations must be placed by 4:00PM on the business day prior to the tabling request. Reservations placed after 4:00PM for the next business day are not guaranteed, even if there are tables available.
- No table reservation is considered approved until confirmed online by Kirby Student Center staff. A confirmation email will be sent to the individual requesting the reservation when the request is approved.
- Table reservations should be canceled in Mazevo if plans change and will not be used at the confirmed time.
- If the University closes due to weather or other event, table reservations for that day will be cancelled.
Using Your Table
The individual who reserved the table is responsible for all activity at the table.
Tabling Location
- A schedule of the day's reservations is posted on a pillar in Kirby Commons. Table locations for each organization are listed. Organizations must use the assigned location or they will forfeit their reservation for the day.
Setup and Teardown
- A sign measuring 8.5" x 11" or larger identifying the sponsoring organization must be present at the table at all times. A tablecloth with the organization's name is also acceptable.
- Organizations are responsible for cleaning up the contents of their tables no later than 3:00PM on the day of their reservation. This includes any signage on pillars or any other decorative items.
Tabling Behavior
- At least one currently enrolled UMD student representative of the organization must be present at the table at all times. When collaborating with external guests, one person from the reserving organization must be present.
- Standing in the hallway to distribute literature or solicit is strictly prohibited. All table personnel must stay behind the table at all times and must not physically or verbally impede traffic flow. There shall be no aggressive sales or communication techniques used. A courteous attitude must be maintained at all times.
- Noise level, including that from music or video, should be kept to a respectful level.
