Residence Life and/or Housing Operations is not responsible for any arrangements with other departments or organizations for delivery of materials. Any damage caused by delivery will be charged to the sponsoring department or organization.
Events can be catered by any third-party organization or company. It is the sole responsibility of the sponsoring department or organization to provide these arrangements, give the caterer access to the building for set-up, and ensure appropriate cleanup by the catering service after the event. The sponsoring department or organization is also responsible for ensuring the caterer adheres to Emory University policies, including behavior and safety regulations.
Some spaces contain A/V equipment and if the sponsoring department or organization intends to use the equipment, it must indicate this on the request form. After requesting A/V, the sponsoring organization will receive the code to access the A/V equipment. The code should not be shared with other parties, and is subject to change. On-site A/V assistance is not provided; if a sponsoring department or organization is unfamiliar with the A/V equipment, a pre-event tutorial must be requested no later than 72 hours before the event.
If any damages occur during the time period of a reservation, the sponsoring organization or department will be charged any and all fees for replacing or repairing the damaged area. If the residential space is left in a condition that requires cleaning beyond the normal service, an excessive cleaning charge may also be applied. The sponsoring organization or department will be informed if a damage or excessive cleaning charge is assessed.
Most furniture can be moved within the room. Any furniture that is moved must be returned to its original configuration at the end of the reservation time. Guests may not remove furniture from the room. A/V cabinets and consoles cannot be moved from their fixed locations.
The sponsoring department or organization is responsible for keeping music and other noise at low levels inside and outdoors, as there are students residing in the halls.

As our residential meeting spaces are located within theresidence halls, alcohol is prohibited in and around the residential meeting spaces. Additionally, Emory is a tobacco-free campus and smoking or electronic cigarettes are not permitted inside or around any residence hall.
Students, employees, faculty, and other guests must abide by any requests made by Residence Life staff (i.e. Resident Advisors, Complex Directors, Assistant Directors, and other staff) including request to reduce noise or control guest behavior.
