Student clubs have access to Parkville venues for functions and meetings, however all bookings must follow the correct procedures outlined below.

Priority will be given to teaching activities at all times. When planning an event that will be involving amplified sound or lots of noise, please inform the Student Experience Coordinator. These events will only be approved if they don't interfere with teaching.

Booking a room or organising a student function - step by step

1. Check with MPSU (or PPA for graduate student events) that your event doesn't clash with another club event.

2. Submit an event proposal to the faculty

After confirming that your proposed event does not clash with an MPSU/PPA event or other club event, complete the Parkville On-Campus Student Group Event Proposal Form at least 10 working days prior to the planned event date.

See the Parkville teaching spaces map, for a full list of social and event spaces, noting that all teaching spaces are available for bookings when not in use for teaching.

Please ensure that all aspects of the form are complete and that relevant documents are attached. Providing as much detail as possible will enable your proposal to be processed efficiently. For event or booking advice, please contact the Student Experience Coordinator.

Variations to requests for spaces, including additional spaces, may not be available so check space requirements at the time of booking.

3. Confirmation of your booking

Once you have submitted the online form, you will receive a confirmation of your proposal via email. It is your responsibility to check the details are correct.

The proposal will then be assessed by the Student Experience Coordinator, who may request additional information (please provide in a timely manner). If approval is given, the proposal will then be forwarded to the Education Programs Team who will allocate an appropriate space. They will then be in contact with the details of the booked space.

Events must not be advertised until approval has been obtained.
