Priority Scheduling Access

Similar to other high-demand campus facilities, the Hopkins Student Center will follow a phased scheduling approach to ensure fair access and intentional use of space, especially as we launch. To help manage this process and support a successful opening, space reservations in the Hopkins Student Center will be limited to designated users during the early months. Here’s what to know: 

• Now through June 30:  
  • All Hopkins Student Center space requests in 25Live must be submitted through the single HSC request option listed. A scheduler will review your request and assign a space based on availability and event needs. 
  • Please note: Submitting a request does not guarantee availability. You’ll receive an email confirmation once your reservation is reviewed and approved.  
• Who Can Reserve: 
  • Student Organizations: Only officially recognized student organizations with a designated scheduling representative on file may submit requests to book space in the building. 
  • Huddle Spaces: These casual, drop-in areas will be available to all students via same-day Express Scheduling on a first-come, first-served basis, no approval required. 
  • University Departments: JHU departments outside of University Student Services (USS) may submit requests beginning October 15. 
• What Others Can Access: 
  • Starting after June 30, all students will be able to view spaces in 25Live to see what events and activities are taking place in the Hopkins Student Center. If you have questions about eligibility or how to book, please reach out to our team. However, only designated student representatives and approved departments will be able to submit reservation requests (see above). 

This scheduling process is designed to support a smooth launch while ensuring that spaces are used intentionally and equitably.
