Reservations at the Student Center

The Student Center is a great place to hold an event. This page will guide you to information on the venues and available resources. Please follow the steps below:

  1. The Student Center utilizes Event Management Systems (hereby referred to as 'EMS') to reserve rooms in our building. In order to reserve a room at the Student Center using EMS, you must have a user name and password.
    • If you are Rice-affiliated, you may create an account through the system. Be sure to include: Department or Student Organization name, cell phone or office extension, and title in the NOTES section. The process to create an account can take up to two business days. This is NOT an immediate approval process.
    • If you are not Rice-affiliated, you must request a user name and password through our Reservationist.
      Please note: For non-affiliates, this is not an immediate process. The Reservationist will get in touch with you to let you know your user name and password.
  3. Once you have created an account, you can browse our available venues for space that will fit your event.
  4. When you have decided what resources you need, head back to EMS to check space availability in the specific room.
  5. Once you select a date and time that is available, the system will walk you through the steps to reserve the actual space.
