2. Holds

A courtesy hold of ten (10) business days may be placed on an available date, after which a reservation must be made or the date will then be released.

3. Reservations

Reserving the Auditorium for a non-UNI function requires a $500 non-refundable deposit. The $500 deposit will be credited to any expenses accrued by the renter. In the event of a cancellation or release of a reserved date, the GBPAC will retain the $500 deposit. Once the deposit has been received with signed contracts, the standard policies relating to UNI functions below must be followed. All renters of the Great Hall must adhere to the following procedures:

• All requests to use the Great Hall must be made to the Event Management Director.
• Renter must provide the Associate Director and the Technical Director with detailed plans in writing of the program and/or topics, stage, sound, and lighting needs.
• All requests are subject to review and final approval by the Executive Director of the GBPAC.
• A verbal (courtesy) hold on any available date is effective for ten (10) business days. At the end of the ten (10) day period, a signed contract or reservation form is required to confirm the date.
