The MPR

 We've been having some confusion about the multipurpose room the last few weeks and wanted to help make things a bit clearer.

When someone claims a reservation and they are not the person who made the reservation:

• Verify that they are part of the group hosting the event and that they are ACTING as host
• Ask for their photo ID
• Check out MP room bag to them
• Have them sign the MP room form
• Escort them to the MP room and unlock the door

Before 5PM, often times the rooms are booked by an admin assistant or another person who will NOT be there to check out the room or will not be acting as host.  

For student organizations, mostly the ones who use the room after 5PM, we need to be checking out the room to the responsible party, the one who made the reservation.  If we know that another person may be checking out the room, we will put that person's name in the notes of the booking.

If you are ever confused about this, PLEASE ask.  We have had issues the past few weeks with faculty and staff being barred from checking out the room for their meetings, and checking out the room to someone who is merely there to attend a meeting and not responsible for the room at all.
