Scheduling, Events and Conferences

Request Forms

From dances and department meetings to lectures and study sessions, all of our scheduled activities require certain pieces of information to coordinate.  These forms will help provide us the information we need to provide the locations and support that you need. Please review the following forms and pick the one best suited for your activity. If any assistance is needed to determine a best form to use, please call the office of Scheduling, Events, & Conferences at 503-375-5442 and department staff will be able to walk you though the process.

A notification will be sent to you when the Scheduling, Events, & Conferences office has received your request.  Only after an official confirmation notice has been sent will an activity be included on the schedule.  Please read the entire confirmation message, as event or activity specific details will be included in that message that may require your attention.  Please also note that while a particular space may be available during your requested timeframe, this does not guarantee support services for that activity.  The more accurate the information in your request, the faster a final confirmation can be provided to you. 

The Scheduling, Events, & Conferences office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm to answer any of your questions.  Given the number of requests we receive each day, please allow 24 business hours for a response to your initial request. Please note that while a best effort will be made to attend to requests on the day they are received, those requests submitted on Friday may not be addressed until the following Monday.
