Cancellations must be communicated (in writing) to the Office of Campus Activity Facilities not less than 4 business days before the scheduled event. The requestor will be charged for all expenses incurred by the Office of Campus Activity Facilities as a result of any cancellations. Most services can be cancelled 4 business days prior to the event. Failure to cancel events with 4 business days notice may result in a service fee.

The Leavey Program Room and Club Room have tables and chairs that can be used at no fee to client. Equipment required beyond what is available in the rooms, will incur an additional charge. Tablecloths are not provided but it is recommended that the requestor consider obtaining them. A diagram must be attached to the reservation form to depict the desired set-up.

SECURITY is assigned at the discretion of the Department of Public Safety.

SMOKING is prohibited in the Leavey Center per District of Columbia law. Strict penalties will be enforced.
