Special Events | University of Detroit Mercy IT Services
Event services are only available after all academic support request have been honored.
If scheduling an event, please contact University Services before contacting AVCS.
Room reservations are the responsibility of the requestor; AVCS does not reserve rooms.
It is the responsibility of the requestor to create and load their content. AVCS strongly recommends testing documents in advance of events by coordinating a load/run test with the AVCS Manager. Installed applications are limited to Detroit Mercy standard applications which include the Microsoft Office Productivity Suite and Internet Explorer.
Please note the AVCS department does not provide event sound solutions. Event sound solutions are available through the CLAE-CST department. Connectivity to sound solutions is dependent upon the resources available from the sound department.
The AVCS department limits its event support to the McNichols campus. If an off-site event requires Audio-Visual services, limited equipment may be available through the University’s loaner program. When additional equipment is needed, the ITS Department recommends contracting professional services.
When services are required during a time at which the location is closed (e.g. during Christmas), the reserving department must make the appropriate arrangements with the Department of Public Safety for access.
Cancellation less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled event will be billed at the scheduled rate.
AVCS maintains the right to alter these policies and procedures without notice.
