No-shows:
- UMD departments and Campus Life Program (CLP) student organizations will be charged a no-show fee when they do not utilize their reservation in Kirby Student Center (“drop-in” reservations in the Studio and Garage are excluded). $25 for meeting rooms; $100 for Ballroom and Rafters; fee will be charged to the group’s EFS (Enterprise Financial Systems) account. For Registered Student Organization (RSO) student groups, all members will lose tabling and reservation privileges for 2 weeks. Please see below for instructions on avoiding the no-show fee and for the rationale for differences between Campus Life Programs and Registered Student Organizations
- For tabling no-shows, UMD departments and student organizations will lose tabling privileges for the next two weeks.
To avoid a no-show fee:
- Cancel your reservation (either online or by email) up until the day of the intended reservation without penalty. Every person who makes a reservation receives a reminder email the week prior which reminds the guest to cancel if room is no longer needed.
- If someone in your department or organization makes a reservation for the following semester but will not be involved in your group that semester, be sure to update the reservation to a current member so that your group receives the reservation reminder the week before.
- Always check in at the Kirby Welcome Desk prior to your reservation, even if the room was left open or you received the key from the last group using the room. We need to know that you are here.
