Please contact Course and Classroom Scheduling Services at schedule@umd.edu with any questions related to reserving ESJ classrooms for academic courses.

Please see bottom of page for reasons an academic event may be required to pay a rental fee.

ESJ TERP classrooms are available free of charge to academic units and campus programs for their events (information sessions, orientations, meetings, trainings, etc.) during the building’s normal operating hours. Space becomes available for users to book in accordance with the Office of the Registrar’s policies on booking General Purpose Classrooms.

Academic Units/Faculty

Contact your department’s designated department scheduling officer, who can submit an online room reservation request for any ESJ classroom.

Administrative Units

Administrative Units may utilize the ESJ classrooms for meetings, trainings, and other events geared toward campus users. If the unit does not have a scheduling officer, email esj@umd.edu or fill out this form to make a request.

Registered Student Organizations

ESJ's classrooms are not on the list of approved rooms that Registered Student Organizations may reserve for free.

If a student organization is hosting a large event, such as a symposium, conference, or similar event, space may be rented for a fee on a case-by-case basis. Registered Student Organizations must pay the Internal User rate for the room, and have their event coordinated through Conferences and Visitor Services, who will charge a fee for their services (in addition to the space rental fee). At least two weeks' notice is required to reserve space.

For more information, please fill out this form with as much detail as possible and the building manager will be in touch to discuss your event.

Registered Student Organizations may book free General Purpose Classroom (GPC) space in other buildings through Event and Guest Services in Stamp.

A University academic or administrative unit may “host” a Student Organization’s event. The hosting unit must make the room reservation (following directions for Academic Units and Administrative Units outlined above), and agrees to be the main contact for the event, and responsible for all coordination, financial, and legal liabilities associated with the program.

ESJ has seven Huddle Rooms which are intended for use by students.
