The Student Success Center does not provide event space to individual Georgia Tech students. Students interested in requesting event space are permitted to do so through a chartered Georgia Tech organization only and the individual must be an approved member of that chartered organization. Please contact the Student Engagement Office at 404.894.3458 or engage@gatech.edu with questions regarding updates/changes to OrgSync member lists or becoming an approved contact for the chartered organization. Please see "fronting" policy below.

Fronting

Institute departments and student organizations may not serve as fronts for off-campus organizations. If fronting is discovered, outside rental rates will apply, and future reservation privileges will be impacted.
