It is the responsibility of each group to return meeting room furniture to its original placement if moved during the course of your conference. A fee of $23.50 per hour, minimum of one hour, will be charged to reset room furniture. Career Center reserves the right to re-assign rooms if necessary.
• Room Charges
  Hourly Room charges will apply to all reservations, except student initiated programming sponsored by a registered student organization. This exemption does not apply to media fees. All fees will be charged for no-shows.
