Reserving space through T-RES automatically satisfies the Major Events Policy.

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.
