- All reservation requests must be submitted ahead of time using Outlook Calendar.
- Reservations are not confirmed until you have received an email of acceptance or declination.
- Scheduling an additional 30 minutes before your meeting and after your meeting is recommended to provide cushion time.
- Before walking into conference rooms, please check the posted schedules
- When using service permits, make sure to return them on time with the gate card still in the permit pocket.
- If you are running late with a service permit or vehicle, please notify the front desk by email or phone.
- Be careful not to leave permits in your car before leaving for the day.
- If the battery charge is low when returning state vehicles, please notify the front desk.
