2021-2022 Acorns House Rules and Regulations
Please read through these REVISED rules and regulations carefully. Failure to meet expectations may result in loss of the privilege to use the space.
In addition to completing this form, please make a reservation through 25Live. However, if your group is un-constituted, you are only required to complete this form.
If possible, weekday events should start no sooner than 4:30 PM as Assistant Deans are usually working during the day. Reservations are made on a first come, first serve basis.
In observation of Latinx Month and Asian Awareness Month, these events will take precedence.
Because there have been issues regarding the cleanliness of our kitchen space, it is now required to obtain a key to access Acorns' kitchen supplies.
