Reserving a Space and Scheduling an Event at Lakeside and Meadows
Any resident/graduate student/graduate organization that wants to schedule an event at Lakeside and/or Meadows and reserves a space for a specific date and time must follow the steps below:
Step 1: Use Event Management System (EMS) to Reserve Space for your event
- Navigate to the EMS Web App via http://scheduling.princeton.edu.
- Sign in via CAS in the upper right-hand corner by clicking “Welcome, Guest”. Once you sign in using your personal NetID (not your group NetID) your name will appear there instead.
- Click “Create a Reservation” on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click “Book Now” in the upper right-hand corner under the “Campus Space Request” option.
- Enter the date, start time, and end time on the left-hand side of the screen. The availability of Lakeside and Meadows spaces will be visible in the system. Note that Lakeside/Meadows Management would generally not approve two events on the same day and space to avoid conflicts and ensure proper clean-ups.

- Enter all the information regarding your event on this form and click on “Create Reservation”
- You will receive a confirmation screen saying “Reservation Created”.
Step 2: Submit an Event Registration Form. Event Registration Forms must be submitted at least three weeks (15 business days) in advance of your proposed event date.
- If you are hosting an event and do not belong to any recognized student organization, then you should use this link to register your event.
- If you are a recognized student organization, you should use this link to register your event.
NOTE: You must submit your Event Registration Form while waiting for the approval from Lakeside/Meadows management. Do not however fill out the Event Registration Form without first reserving your room.
Step 3: Confirmation from Lakeside/Meadows management. Once the approval of the event from the Student Affairs Team at the Graduate School has been received, Lakeside/Meadows management staff will approve the space reservation in EMS and send a final confirmation email containing further instructions, copying the Graduate School Student Affairs staff.
Note: You must submit your event registration form(s) at least three weeks prior to your event.
