UGA hosts a significant number of meetings, events, and conferences annually. University space and resources are limited and the University bears certain costs for hosting events and activities on University property. The framework below is used to classify events and determine charges for space and/or equipment. Please contact us if you have questions about the rates or need assistance evaluating your program or event to determine what fees apply.

UGA events – Consists of events arranged by the University (including colleges, departments, units or employees on behalf of the University) or registered student organizations for the primary benefit of the University community or an initiative of the University. Reservations for these groups must be requested by members of the registered student organization or University faculty or staff. Attendance is primarily for University faculty, staff, students, and/or Athens-Clarke County residents. All charges related to a UGA event will be billed to and covered by the requesting University college, department, unit or registered student organization.

UGA-affiliated events – Consists of events arranged by the University (including colleges, departments, units or employees on behalf of the University) or registered student organizations, but attendance is not limited to University faculty, staff, students, and surrounding Athens-Clarke County residents. A UGA faculty or staff member, or a registered student organization must request the space and serve as the primary contact/planner for all event-related details. All charges related to a UGA-affiliated event will be the responsibility of the requesting University college, department, unit or registered student organization.

UGA community-sponsored events – Consists of events arranged or sponsored by either (i) individual UGA students or groups of UGA students (other than registered student organizations), or (ii) faculty or staff of the University when not acting on behalf of the University. Attendance for such events is not limited to University faculty, staff, students, and surrounding Athens-Clarke County residents. The individual UGA student or faculty/staff member must request the space and serve as the primary contact/planner for all event-related details and must be present during the event. All charges related to a UGA community-sponsored event will be the responsibility of the requesting UGA student or faculty/staff member, and be paid prior to the date of the reservation.

Governmental events – Consists of events arranged by federal, state and local government agencies or organizations not affiliated with the University of Georgia.

Recruitment events – Consists of events arranged for the University’s students by commercial organizations not affiliated with the University of Georgia solely for the purpose of employee recruitment, training, or meetings. All commercial organizations must adhere to the University’s Solicitation policy. Groups in this category must pay any associated charges prior to date of their reservation.

Weddings/Private Celebrations – Consists of wedding parties or comparable private celebrations. Groups in this category must pay any associated charges prior to date of their reservation.

Please make sure to review and familiarize yourself with our terms and conditions for reservation and use of campus facilities and spaces, available here. In particular, note that: the event sponsor as indicated in the relevant reservation request must be the user of the reserved space (other than in the case of a UGA community-sponsored event), present at the event during the reservation period, and will be financially responsible for payment of all charges associated with the event. If the University learns at any time that the event sponsor is not the user of the space or is not present at the event, the University reserves the right to cancel the event (even after it has commenced), adjust charges as appropriate, as well as consider it a violation of the policy on “Fronting”, if applicable.

Money may not be exchanged during the course of any event without prior approval of the Vending and Solicitation department. Click here to view the University’s Solicitation Policy.

The process for billing and invoicing through the office of Campus Reservations, Events & Technical Services is out lined below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and speak with our Administrative Associate for further questions.

Billing and invoicing for most events occurs approximately 7-10 business days after the event. We do require that outside entities pay in advance for their event. Wedding events additionally require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking along with two additional payments that are due prior to the date of the event.

The person making the reservation is ultimately responsible for payment of each invoice. Failure to pay an invoice on behalf of a Student Organization or Department could result in that Student Organization or Department being hindered from making further reservations.

Process

Once your event has occurred, the charges are confirmed by your event coordinator and an invoice is created. Depending on the nature of your payment type (see below) and/or the price of your invoice, you will either be directly charged or an invoice will be sent to you for final approval. Please note that the creation of some invoices take longer to process due to external charges (i.e. FMD charges). Each particular situation is handled differently at the discretion for the CRETS office.

There are different types of invoices or notifications you may receive.

Invoice Preview

If you selected a university account number as your method of payment, and your reservation cost is in excess of $200, you will be sent an invoice preview. We give you the opportunity to look over all charges to confirm they are accurate in addition to verifying the account number associated with the reservation before we charge that account. If you are sent an Invoice Preview, you will need to respond giving our office the green light to proceed with charging your account.

Invoice

An invoice is a statement of the sum due for goods sent or services provided by our office. You will receive an invoice from our office if you have not provided a university account during the time the reservation was created. Please respond to your invoice with your intended method of payment so that we may finalize any applicable sales tax.

Past Due (10 business days)

Once you have received either an Invoice or an Invoice Preview and we have not heard back from you within 10 business days, you will receive a Past Due notification. Action is required on your end to pay this invoice.

30 Days Past Due

Once you have received a Past Due notification and we still have not heard back from you and your invoice is now over 30 days past due, you will receive a 30 Days Past Due notification. Action is required on your end to pay this invoice. At this point, you will also not be allowed to make any future reservations with our office. Additionally, a $25 late fee will be added to your invoice. Invoices that are not paid by the end of the school year could result in hindering your student organization from registering for the next school year.

60 Days Past Due

Once you have received a 30 Days Past Due notification and we still have not heard back from you and your invoice is now over 60 days past due, you will receive a 60 Days Past Due notification. Action is required on your end to pay this invoice within two business days. You will continue to not be allowed to make any future reservations with our office, a second $25 late fee will be added to your invoice; totaling $50 in late fees, and any currently booked events will be cancelled. Invoices that are not paid by the end of the school year could result in hindering your student organization from registering for the next school year.

Payment Types

We accept several different types of payment options. Cash is no longer accepted nor do we accept student account numbers.

Credit/Debit

We accept credit or debit cards. These types of transactions can be made either in our office or over the phone during business hours (8am-4:30pm)

Check

Checks are accepted and must be made payable to The University of Georgia. Checks can be sent via mail to:

Campus Reservations, Events & Technical Services
121 Tate Student Center
Athens, GA 30602

University Account Numbers

University account numbers are accepted. Our office will generate payment to have the money transferred from your University account to our University account. Please note that University accounts are not your student ID numbers that begins with either an 801 or 802 number.

Sales Tax

Sales tax will be assessed in compliance with University Accounting procedures when applicable.

Campus Reservations is not able to provide equipment (beyond what is already present) for meetings and events in any of the classroom facilities we reserve. University departments can contact Facilities Management directly to make arrangements for equipment. All other groups should arrange for additional equipment with off-campus rental centers. Regardless of where you get your equipment please check with the Campus Reservations staff to ensure enough time has been set aside for the delivery and pick up of the equipment.
