LU Campus Event Requests

Lincoln University is transitioning to LionsConnect to manage event requests and the university events calendar. This new system simplifies event scheduling and management, offering a seamless experience for users.

LionsConnect enables students, faculty, staff, administration, and external partners to create an event request, view upcoming events, promote activities, check in attendees, and communicate event details—all in one platform.

Follow the guidelines below that outline how students, faculty, staff, and external guests can successfully submit an event request.

University Announcements

If you would like to share a campus announcement that is not an event, follow the same process as adding an event, but complete only the required information. Fill out the first page of the event form. On the second page, you must select "University Announcement" as the Event Tag from the first dropdown menu.

Once your announcement is submitted and approved, it will appear on the announcements page.

Event Management

LU Student Clubs & Organization

Student organizations' officers may schedule events on behalf of their organizations through LionsConnect. They must log in using their Lincoln email login and password and create an event within their group in LionsConnect. Click here to access LionsConnect.

Requests MUST be submitted before the month deadline set by the Director of Student Life.  After this time, you will not be able to submit them. You will receive email updates on your event's approval status.

You can view the approval process in your LionsConnect My Activity -> My Surveys/Forms. You will receive email updates on your event’s approval status.

LU Campus Departments

Campus departments with an active group in LionsConnect can schedule events directly through the platform on behalf of their department as long as they have an active department group.

To do so, they must log in using their Lincoln University email credentials, navigate to their group in LionsConnect, and create an event. Click the link below for detailed instructions on submitting a request, managing your event, and checking in guests.

Departments without an active LionsConnect group can request to create a group for their department. To establish a group, submit a request by CLICKING HERE.

If you need to reserve a space on campus, you must still access it through Coursedog. Those who selected that they did not have Coursedog access will need to contact Mr. Charles Ricketts  (cricketts@lincoln.edu) to make sure spaces are available. 
Requests for transportation, catering, security, equipment, etc., must be completed externally from this form.

We ask that requests be submitted at least 14 days before your event to ensure if appear in the Roar Report and students have time to view after approval.

External Campus Partners

Lincoln University will make its facilities available to community groups, organizations, and businesses. However, academic and student events take priority over all external group requests for facility use.

Please complete the External Guest Event Request Form to reserve a facility for your event. Upon receipt, the Office of Special Events will review the request and confirm the available facilities and/or dates. If you have any additional questions, please get in touch with the Special Events and Conference Manager, Charles Ricketts, at cricketts@lincoln.edu

The reserved facility will be set up according to your agreed-upon request and accessible at the time requested on the reservation form. It is important to include the set-up and breakdown times when completing the reservation form.

Lincoln University reserves the right to decline any request for facility use from any individual or group without cause or reason.

External guests will receive updates regarding your event approval via email.
