KU Edwards Conference and Event Space
To define the policies for scheduling conference and event space at the KU Edwards Campus.
All faculty, staff, students, and campus visitors.
Priority Scheduling
Priority goes to KU departments and registered organizations. Non-KU groups and individuals have access to the facilities after campus needs are met.
KU Departments and Organizations
There are a number of activities that are coordinated by KU departments and registered student organizations that involve non-KU participants, but no third party sponsorship is involved. If any of the following are true, KU departments and organizations will be assessed room and equipment rental at the University rate:
- Attendees are charged an admission/registration fee
- Less than 50% of the people attending the event are KU students, faculty and staff
Events held by KU staff will not be charged a fee if the event is held for recruitment of prospective students.
For Edwards Campus information and specific costs, please contact the KUEC Events Team.
Room Rental Cancellations and No Shows
External clients may cancel their meeting room reservation without charge or penalty up to the end of the business day five business days prior to their event by contacting the KU Edwards Events Team at 913-897-8526 or kueceevents@ku.edu. Please note that business hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (CT), Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
When a group or individual does not utilize their room reservation and does not communicate to the KU Edwards Events Team in the timely manner described above, the group or individual is subject to a 30% cancellation/no-show fee.
