Planning an event

If you are a registered student club or organization, this page contains important information about planning events. You must enter in your organizations events both on and off campus. After reading the below Process page and FAQs please visit 25Live (collegenet.com) to start an event form. 

Remember, your request in 25Live is not complete until the entire reservation is marked as "Confirmed" and not "Tentative." Receiving a Facilities Planning and Management Permit for outdoor events, is NOT confirmation that your event can occur.

Do you need video tutorials for how to use 25Live? View our recorded how-to videos.

If you want to learn what is required for different event reservations (off-campus, on-campus, out-of-state, outdoor, etc.) check out the space helper tool.

Please reach out to us at leadership@cpp.edu or (909) 869-2841 if you have any questions.

  • Club and Organization events are defined as anything taking place on or off campus that is not a class sponsored by a department, organization, or recognized campus activity.
  • All on campus and off campus events need to be requested through 25Live

 What is 25Live?

  • 25Live is a full-featured scheduling tool that allows faculty, staff, and students to search, check availability, and make scheduling requests

Standard events include information tabling by a singular campus group, regular meeting spaces (with no off-campus speakers or guests involved), study hall sessions, and/or fundraisers (to last no longer than 4 hours) sponsored by students, employees, or University-affiliated departments or groups. 

  • The requesting individual or group must request within 25Live at least 10 business days in advance (no same day reservations allowed)

Tabling by multiple campus groups at the same event, and unpaid speaking engagements with off-campus speakers or attendees publicized outside the sponsoring organization but intended solely for a CPP audience.  

  • The requesting individual or group must request within 25Live, at least 15 business days in advance.
  • If reserving a location that requires staffing the requesting individual or group must rqeuest in 25Live at least 30 business days in advance.

25Live FAQs

Event confirmation involves a detailed process. You should reserve and plan for spaces at least a month before the event. Remember: you cannot proceed with your event until your event is fully confirmed in 25Live. Parts of your event may be confirmed, but remember: the overall status of the event must say "Confirmed" at the top of the event page.

  • Space reserved: Before you can start your tasks, you must get the space reserved by the assigned scheduler for the space. If it is outdoors it is likely the Bronco Leadership Center. If it is indoors it could be the Bronco Leadership Center or it could be someone in that building or college. If it is in the Bronco Student Center or the Bronco Recreation Intramural Complex you need to contact ASI Conference & Events services (cpp.edu).
  • Task List: You must clear your task list within your 25Live event to proceed with confirmation.
    • Each task item has a department or contact name so you can ask that are for assistance.
    • Sample departments are, University Police, Environmental Health and Safety, Facilities Planning and Management, University Risk, and others
  • Task List cleared: Please contact the Bronco Leadership Center at (909) 869-2841 or leadership@cpp.edu to fully confirm your event.

Make sure you update your 25Live reservation to reflect new answers to your questions. If items on your task list already have been confirmed, you may be asked to put in a new event as new answer may change who may need to review your event.

There are a few reasons why you might not have access:

  • Registration Status: Your club or organization registration might not be approved
    • Please check with your President to ensure they received a Step 4 Registration approval email from myBAR
  • Club Registered Approval Time: It takes 1-3 business days after your club or organizations registration is approved.
  • Register Tag: The Bronco Leadership Center needs to add the “Registered” category to your myBAR organization
  • Scheduler Listing on MyBAR roster: If your scheduler is not on the organization roster at all, or if your scheduler is on the roster, but the word "Scheduler" does not appear next to their name as an assigned role, this will cause a delay

No, you must be as accurate as possible by planning all the details with others. Do not make up or put false data into the form. Doing so may be a violation of the CSU Time, Place and Manner policy.
