T-RES Applications For All On-campus Events Is Now Live
Effective immediately, appropriate T-RES Applications must be completed directly through T-RES for staff and student group events regardless of venue.
For venue reservations made outside of T-RES, select the “Start Application for reservation outside of T-RES” option when submitting your event for an application or complying with MEP.
About
T-RES is UC San Diego’s new centralized platform that streamlines finding and reserving space, event planning workflows, and ensures policy compliance when managing events and meetings on university property.
T-RES currently supports reservations for more than 200 campus locations, including meeting rooms, outdoor spaces, and premier venues like the Epstein Family Amphitheater, Great Hall, LionTree Arena, Mandeville Auditorium, and the Price Center Ballrooms. Additional venues will be added to T-RES as the system expands.
Major Events Policy
Reserving space through T-RES automatically satisfies the Major Events Policy.
If your reservation is made outside of T-RES and your event:
- has more than 100 attendees, and/or
- includes alcohol
You must register your event through T-RES. This process replaces the Event Intake Form.
