Events in academic buildings and rooms will be scheduled in accordance with the University’s Use of Academic Space Policy.
Astra Schedule is the only software program used at The University of Alabama for the booking of events. Any event that is scheduled in a secondary system will not be considered official by the department that schedules the building, nor by the Office of the University Registrar. All event requests must be submitted through Astra at least four business days in advance.
Requests for events that take place during an academic term will be reviewed and scheduled after manual classroom adjustments have been made to academic sections for that term. Events that are held when classes are not in session may be requested up to nine months in advance.
All requests for rooms must go through the appropriate Academic Division that controls the requested building. Click here for a list of scheduling contacts by Academic Division.
It is the responsibility of the event requestor to arrange with the building representative access to the rooms scheduled, if the event happens to fall outside of normal University of Alabama hours of operation. A list of building representatives can be found here: https://uafacilities.ua.edu/building-reps/
