25Live Training
Event Services

Only use outlook to book a meeting that does not require catering, AV setup, or any resources. Not all spaces are available in outlook.

Why can't I book a particular space on campus?

• If it is an academic space used for classes, there are date restrictions on when you can reserve those spaces to ensure academic courses are reserved first. Starting April 1, you can reserve for August – December. Beginning November 1, you can reserve for January – May.
• Specific spaces need special considerations to book them (an example is the Ballroom and Vallecito, where we need to consider staffing to set up those spaces), or the space is closed to campus to book.
• Science labs cannot be reserved in 25Live. Please reach out to the department chair to reserve.

If you think you should have permission to book specific spaces but do not, please email our office at events@fortlewis.edu with your name and the name of the space, and we will investigate it for you!

The day looks available on the calendar view, but I can't book it. Why? 

Some events with setup or catering require time before and after the event to set up, which can block space on the calendar without showing the event.

How do I cancel my event?

Once you have created your event, you cannot cancel it. Please email events@fortlewis.edu to let us know and we will cancel it for you. This way we can notify all relevant parties of the cancellation.

How do I change the time of my event?

If you have requested a space that requires approval, you won’t be able to edit your event time after it has been submitted and approved. Please email events@fortlewis.edu for assistance on time changes.

Will I receive a confirmation email for my event?

Spaces that are available immediately or show the “reserve” button next to their name will not result in a confirmation email at this time. You will receive a confirmation or denial email if you request a space that requires approval, such as the Vallecito or Ballroom. You’ll know this about a space because the selection button says “request” vs “reserve”. You will also know your space has been approved if your event shows up on the space’s calendar or you see the location under your event reservation.

Why can't I see a location when I know it exists on campus? 

Depending on what group you are in 25Live, that allows you to see and request specific spaces on campus. If you think you should see particular spaces, please email our office at events@fortlewis.edu.

The location I want is booked, and I don't know what other location to choose. 

Please choose a “TBD location”; the events office will be notified and reach out to you.

When can I reserve the Ballroom or Vallecito in the Student Union? 

On-campus departments may reserve Student Union spaces 3 years in advance
