Special Events and Facility Reservations

Cal State LA has various venues available to hold all types of events from small meetings to film shoots and conferences. Use of Facilities will provide your organization with assistance in ensuring your event on campus is successful. While instructional programs and University events have priority over the use of space, Cal State LA welcomes outside events that are closely related to the mission of the University.

Use of Facilities and event reservations are pursuant to the policies and procedures of Administration Policy 505 and are applicable to all University units, including auxiliary organizations, recognized University-affiliated organizations, and all off-campus groups or individuals.
