Kirkwood’s Off Campus Centers’ Guidelines for Use of Facilities
Kirkwood Community College encourages community groups and organizations to use our facilities for meetings and other activities. The following are policies and guidelines concerning the use of Kirkwood’s facilities:
Overriding Guidelines of Facility Use
- College sponsored activities have first priority with all other reservations subject to administrative approval.
- Organizations cannot be providing education or training services deemed to be in direct competition with Kirkwood offerings.
- Use of facilities is offered to non-profit organizations free of charge.
- Non-Profit organizations cannot charge admission/tuition to meetings, conferences, classes, etc.
- Organizations that are for-profit may request to use Kirkwood facilities for a fee.
- Kirkwood does not host private functions such as anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, graduations and family reunions.
- Typically, organizations may not use the facilities on a recurring calendar schedule of use. For example, Lion’s Club that meets the first Wednesday night of each month.
- Kirkwood does not provide staff to support the implementation of an organization’s program in the facility
- If the college closes due to inclement weather, or any other emergency, those events scheduled in the facilities cannot be held as scheduled.
Exceptions to the above guideline may occur when a formal partnership agreement exists.
