Host Your Event in Gaylord Hall

Gaylord Hall Protocol & Facility Guidelines

Gaylord College makes facilities available to the campus and community using a neutral decision-making process. Events must go through an approval process in advance and are required to comply with OU’s Facility Use Policy. All reservations are at the discretion of the college and are subject to ultimate approval by the dean of Gaylord College.

Gaylord College reserves the right to refuse a reservation based on the possibility of security and/or safety issues. The safety of the faculty, staff and students takes precedence, along with preservation of the facilities. In such cases, university policies may override Gaylord College’s space use policy. The university can regulate where, when and how speech occurs to ensure the functioning of the campus and achieve important goals, such as protecting student and public safety.

The facilities in Gaylord Hall are intended for pedagogical purposes. Students and faculty who need to use spaces for current class purposes take precedence. Preference in instances of time conflicts is given to Gaylord College students, faculty and staff.
