How it works
A regular club meeting is just a room reservation. An event — outside speaker, amplified sound, food service, expected crowd, minors on campus, money changing hands — goes through event registration, which routes to whichever offices need to sign off and books the room only once they have.
Lead time
Three weeks is the floor for a standard event; a large event, a high-profile speaker, or anything needing street closures needs six to eight. Late registrations are accommodated where possible but lose the ability to guarantee catering, security or parking.
In and around Porter Falls
Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.
The practical details
Submit: At least three weeks ahead for anything with outside guests, amplified sound, or food. Triggers: Catering, a sound permit, risk review, parking, and security are all pulled in from this one form. Small meetings: A simple room booking, no full registration. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
