MAKING A RESERVATION

  • Upon receipt of your reservation request, We will send you a confirming email. Your reservation is not confirmed until you receive this confirmation!

  • You are encouraged to bring your presentation over ahead of time to test it for compatibility on our systems or with your laptop. Contact  Haley Childers (hachilde@uncg.edu) to determine when the room is not being used to test your presentation.

KEYS

  • All meeting spaces are locked when not in use to protect the facilities and to keep other groups from using the space that you have reserved.
  • To obtain keys for the reserved meeting space, see Haley Childers (256-0426, hachilde@uncg.edu, in 1704 MHRA).
  • The reserving group is responsible for ensuring the room is locked and the keys are returned immediately after use.

FOOD

  • Catering can be arranged through Dining Services (334-5195) or online at: https://uncgcatering.catertrax.com/.  Arrangements for catering set-up, clean-up and after hours access are the responsibility of the reserving group. You must, at the time you place your food order, make arrangements with them to clean up immediately after your meeting, so that the room will be ready for the next group.
  • Keep in mind the catering office does not come back and clean up after boxed lunch meals unless special arrangements have been made, so it is the responsibility of the reserving group to clean up.
  • Outside vendors can also be used, but someone from the reserving group must be available to meet the delivery person to sign for/pay for the order when they arrive.

TELECONFERENCE OR WEBINAR OR VIDEO CONFERENCE?

Teleconferences or conference calls use only a telephone and the information is all audio. All of our rooms (except 1302) can be set up for a teleconference, assuming the telephone equipment and phone line are available and reserved in advance.

Webinars or webcasts are virtual meetings held over the Internet. These meetings allow participants to simultaneously participate by logging into a website and virtually looking at documents or watching content. Users may interact with one another through text chat, email or over the telephone in web conferences. Make sure to reserve the Telephone Conference Equipment if you will be connecting via the computer AND telephone!

Video conferencing allows participants to view a live stream of video of each other. All of the conference rooms (except room 1302) now have cameras so you may use programs such as WEBEX, Skpye or Google Hangouts. Again, note this when placing your room reservation.

If you have questions about videoconferencing or webinars, contact ORETECH@uncg.edu.
