Procedures for Scheduling:
Reservations for the apartments are to be made through the University
Reservations Office located on the first floor of the Rhatigan Student
Center, 978-3475. Rooms will be reserved on a first-call
basis. If, after the room is reserved, it is determined that the
room is not needed, the University Reservations Office is to be
notified as early as possible. This is so others may make use of
the facilities. If the University apartments are not available,
then other accommodations will need to be made by the requesting
department.
A guest's stay may not exceed four nights. Only one apartment at a time will be scheduled for a four night reservation. A newly hired employee's stay may not exceed two nights. A new employee will be required to pay room rental. Payment is to be made to Wichita State University. State funds cannot be used for rental payment. Payment is to be made in advance in the Reservations Office, at the time the room key is checked out.
