UC San Diego users can log in, search for available spaces, and complete the reservation request form. Event hosts can submit a General Inquiry if they do not see the desired venue in T-RES or need help finding a space.
Can I reserve multiple spaces at once?
Yes, T-RES allows multiple reservations in a single request. Each space will be reviewed for availability and approval.

Reservation windows vary by venue and user type. Student organizations may book up to 180 days in advance; departments may have longer or shorter windows depending on the venue.
What’s the minimum notice required for a reservation?
Most venues require at least 21 days’ notice for events. Some meeting rooms may allow shorter timelines.
Can I make recurring reservations?
Yes, recurring events can be scheduled in T-RES, subject to venue availability and policies.
What if the space I want is not listed?
Submit a General Inquiry, and our team will help identify options or connect you with the correct department.
Please see this list of other campus venues.
Are all campus venues available in T-RES
Many UC San Diego-managed venues are available in T-RES. Some spaces may still require direct coordination with specific departments. Event hosts can submit a General Inquiry if they do not see the desired venue in T-RES or need help finding a space.
Can I hold a tentative reservation?
Yes, some venues allow tentative holds pending final approval. Policies may vary by space.
How do I cancel or change my reservation?
Log in to T-RES, open your reservation, and select “My Events”. Then open the event you wish to cancel and select “Cancel Reservation”. Some changes may require staff approval or include charges depending on policy.
How do I log in to T-RES?
UC San Diego affiliates log in with their Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials. Non-affiliate users will not be able to log into T-RES, but will be able to submit a General Inquiry.
Do I need to create a new account?
First-time faculty/staff requesters will need to activate their T-RES account.
This action will only need to be completed the first time using the system. Principal Members of CSI Registered Student Organizations and individual students looking to reserve study space are automatically connected to their Organization and will not need to complete this step and can simply login. Students who are members of non-CSI Registered Student Organizations will need to activate their T-RES account. This action will only need to be completed the first time using the system.
Can external organizations make venue reservations through T-RES?
Yes, but all external organizations must first submit a General Inquiry request. A staff member will follow up after the submission has been reviewed.
How do I update my contact information in T-RES?
Student user details are pulled from UC San Diego’s directory. For changes, update your campus profile or Principal Members can contact the Center for Student Involvement. UC San Diego Staff and Faculty users can submit a T-RES Support Ticket.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies vary by venue. Fees may apply if notice is not given within the required timeline.
Who do I contact for help with my reservation?
Once you have a confirmed reservation, work directly with your venue contact. If you need support with the T-RES system, you can submit a T-RES Support Ticket.

Do I need to submit additional permits?

Can I serve food or alcohol at my event?
Check directly with your venue for guidelines. Review T-RES Permits and other event planning tools.
Are there noise restrictions?
Yes, all events must comply with campus noise regulations. Outdoor and amplified sound may require special approval.
What if my event includes minors?
Events with non-UC San Diego minors must follow campus youth protection policies, including supervision and waiver requirements. Student Organizations can find information on Safety, Security, and Insurance at Student Events.
Are there fees for reserving space?
Some spaces are free for UC San Diego students and departments, while others may have rental or service fees. Upon receiving the confirmation from the venue after your request is received, your reservation will include all known costs at that time.
