Policies & Guidelines

Unless otherwise noted, please note the following policies and procedures set forth by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Dean's Office.

Rooms are not available for dates that are 6 months in advance of date the request is created in the system.

Requestors should only request a room for the length of time that the meeting will actually occur. The system is designed to adjust reservations based on the requestor's response to whether or not food will be served and the meeting format selected. Rooms may only be occupied for the time period requested. It is expected that users will respect the requested time periods, request only the time required for the meeting and vacate promptly by the end of the requested time.

Special notice regarding reservations in 63-105 and 73-105 CHS. These rooms are dedicated to teaching of first-year and second-year medical students in the David Geffen School of Medicine. If your reservation has received approval for assignment in either of these rooms, please be aware that your reservation may be reassigned to an alternate room should a conflict occur. We will do everything possible to ensure plenty of advance notice and to assist you in securing an alternate room.
