Space Reservations
As you are likely aware, spaces on campus are becoming increasingly difficult to reserve. Be sure to reserve any December space needs as soon as possible. Reservations for the fall semester must be in by Tuesday, November 25th at 4:30pm. After this deadline, student orgs will lose access to the system. 
Space reservations in non-academic spaces for the Spring 2026 semester will open on January 5th, 2026. Space reservations for academic spaces will open on January 13th, 2026. 
Any requests for academic spaces dated between January 14th and January 21st will be approved one business day prior. Reservation requests dated beyond January 21st will not be approved before that date, to allow for the academic schedule to be finalized. As always, please be aware that academic courses have priority in academic spaces. All student organization requests in academic spaces are subject to change if a class needs to be switched into that space. 
If you need to update your ReserveTufts contact person, please update your JumboLife organization registration form

Spring Semester Travel
If your organization is planning travel in the first 2 weeks of the spring semester, you must submit your JumboLife event registration form by Monday, December 8th. Lodging and travel financial transactions must be completed before students leave for the fall semester.
