Guidelines for Scheduling a Community Event

In addition to the general scheduling guidelines, the following policies apply to community use:

BYU–Hawaii, through the Space Utilization Council, will consider community requests to schedule university facilities when the following apply:

1. The requested facility is unique and not available in the community.
2. Requested use does not displace planned student activities or interfere with institutional needs.
3. Requester pays appropriate costs. As a private institution sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU–Hawaii will not subsidize commercial, private enterprises, and other external entities' use of university facilities.
4. Wedding receptions, bridal showers, baby showers, child's birthday, temple sealing gatherings are all events specific only for members of the Laie YSA 1st and 2nd Stakes and the Laie Hawaii Married Student Stake. Wedding ceremonies may not be performed on campus.
5. Governmental agencies can be permitted to use university facilities for information meetings and hearings following approval from the Space Utilization Council.
6. Employers requesting space to recruit students must work through Career Services.

If all of the above apply to your desired community use and if you agree to the general guidelines, you may submit a request for a reservation up to 90 days prior to the date being requested but at least 10 business days in advance for events needed less than 90 days.
