UUF

Per the Office of Special Programs, events which are open to the public or held by and/or in conjunction with an off-campus organization are required to submit a UUF form. This form requires the sponsorship of a University department Dean, Director, or Chair. Additionally, the form must be approved by both the facility manager and the Use of University Facilities Committee. This form must be completed and fully approved prior to the event. To complete your UUF form online, please visit: https://depts.washington.edu/sprogram.

The purpose of the UUF is to ensure that all facilities operated by the University are reserved primarily for educational use including, but not limited to, instruction, research, public assembly, student activities, and recreational activities related to educational use. Further, each facility may be used for a variety of activities, so long as the primary function the facility was intended to serve is protected. University departments, Registered Student Organizations (RSO’s), and faculty/staff may make a reservation without a request for Use of University Facilities form if the event is only attended by University members. Specific questions regarding the UUF form, its purpose, or problems completing the form can be directed to the Office of Special Programs at sprogram@uw.edu.
