Most college spaces are available for community members to reserve and use during the academic year—pending their availability. Exceptions include administrative offices, the kitchen, the residence halls, and at their discretion, faculty offices. The academic class schedule has priority over other uses.

To reserve space on campus during the school year: 

  • Create a user profile in Skedda or connect to COA with an existing account by following this link.
  • View the Booking grid at coa.skedda.com to check for obvious space conflicts
  • Contact the Academic Services Administrator, Lothar Holzke, for approval* and to complete a booking: ext. 5631 or email lholzke@coa.edu.
  • Student activities or events open to the public should be added to the web calendar. If you need help adding your event, contact Ingrid Hill in student life or the web team at webteam@coa.edu.
  • If a student is planning an event unaffiliated with an organization, they must obtain and fill out a Student Initiated Independent Party Form, to be turned in prior to the event to Student Life for review and approval.

Community members should be considerate of others’ needs and be careful to maintain the spaces in good condition.

Only persons affiliated with the College may request use of the firepits.
