What is 25Live?

25Live is the USF system wide scheduling software for events. It is currently being used by USF Tampa (general use space), USF Sarasota, USF Health, and USF St. Petersburg campuses. Anyone with a NetID and password can view what is scheduled in the system. At this moment, on the Tampa campus only general use space is using this software. In the near future, dedicated department spaces will be added. 

Who can ask for space?

Academic and administrative departments across the USF system are allowed to request space in 25Live. Those requesting to use general use classrooms need to be identified as the designated requestor and are required to attend the 25Live Requestors Training for access.  

How do I get access to requesting space on my campus?

USF Tampa and St. Petersburg: General use classroom space can only be requested by the designated requestor in each academic and administrative department associated with USF. All of the department's designated schedulers' names and contact information can be found here.  Department classrooms, labs, and conference rooms are scheduled by the individual departments.  

USF Sarasota: Students and staff have access to request space from USF Sarasota-Manatee by signing onto 25Live with a NetID and password. Once in 25Live, space can be requested from USF Sarasota-Manatee through the Event Wizard. 

USF Health: Contact Heather Bush

Can I view the classroom I am currently scheduled in?

Yes, general use classroom information is visible in 25Live under the quick search> search for Locations. Enter what the room you are searching for in the dialogue box. The searched location will populate. Select the location name on the left and the details of the classroom including the layout, features, and the capacity will be displayed.

What are the general use classrooms vs dedicated departmental classrooms?

General Use classrooms consist of 150+ rooms across multiple buildings. These classrooms are assigned to all departments and are managed by Academic Space & Course Management. The active list of General Use rooms can be found here. These classrooms have priority for academic courses. When all courses are placed after the first week of classes, these rooms are available for events such as orientations, reviews, make up exams, lectures and other academic related events.

Dedicated departmental classrooms are managed by colleges and departments. These rooms must give priority to out-of-pattern courses and must optimize classroom time and capacity utilization.

How do I know if my event space is unlocked?

Once the event is scheduled, the appropriate areas involved will be notified to ensure the space is unlocked and available. All classroom doors are unlocked 30 minutes prior to the event's start time.
