Plan & Market Events

Student Organizations

Student Organization events are defined as an event planned by the organization for their organization or the USF Community. The Student Organization is responsible for planning, executing, and paying for the event. In order to make reservations at the MSC, your organization must be registered through the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement (CLCE). If you have questions about registering a Student Organization, please contact CLCE.


The Marshall Student Center (MSC) will be closed from December 21st through January 5th. During this time, we will not be processing reservations.

Please note that all social event requests submitted after Thursday, December 19th at 12 PM, for an event date earlier than January 22nd, will not be approved. Social events require an Event Review to be completed at least two weeks before the event. Due to this closure, there will not be sufficient time to complete this before your requested date


the MSC SPRING RESERVATION BOOK is open!

The MSC will began accepting student organization reservations for the Spring Semester on October 1st at 10am.  

The only members of your organization who can make reservation requests are your MSC Accountable Officers.  To update your MSC Accountable Officers, please complete the following steps:

STEP ONE:  Join our Marshall Student Center Group on BullsConnect.  

STEP TWO: Complete your MSC Accountable Officer Form on BullsConnect. Please note that the President of your Organization listed on BullsConnect must match the President listed on the MSC Accountable Officer Form you submit.  This means you may need to update your BullsConnect page before submitting the MSC Accountable Officer Form.  For assistance with updating your BullsConnect page, please contact bullsconnect@usf.edu. MSC Accountable Officer Forms are processed manually by the event planning team. An email will be sent to each officer listed on the form after it has been processed.

STEP THREE: Once the  MSC Accountable Officer Form has been approved, the approved MSC Accountable Officers must create a Web User ID on the online reservation website, Virtual EMS (http://ems-msc.forest.usf.edu/VirtualEms/).  Web User ID requests are processed manually by the event planning team. An email will be sent to each officer listed on the form after it has been processed. Approved MSC Accountable Officers are the only members of your student organization who can request a Web User ID. 

If you have questions or concerns, please email sa-ems@usf.edu
