Facility Use and Rentals

When do I need an event request and when do I not need one?

If you can do everything for your event yourself, you do not need an event request (i.e. scheduling a meeting room through Outlook and setting up your own Zoom meeting).

If you need assistance from any other department, please submit an event request.  Examples of assistance from another department include (this list is not inclusive):

• Marketing assistance (please note that Marketing and PR are unable to assist with marketing an event until your event request has been approved)
• IT support (computer equipment, sound system, microphones, etc.)
• Facilities (setting up tables and chairs, stages, trash cans, etc.)
• Security (parking permits, opening early or closing late, etc.)

 Other reasons you would need to fill out an event request:

• Booking classroom or common space/parking lots for an event
• Getting your event on the College's master event calendar
• Serving food at an event
• Any event that includes more than five (5) outside guests
• Any other request for help from another department on campus not listed previously

  Event Planner Checklist:   This checklist is provided to help you walk through the process of event planning at Coconino Community College.

To learn more about information tables, please see the Information Tables section on this page.

To ensure that the College is able to accommodate events with special set-up requests, please make sure you submit your request at least two weeks prior to your event.

The College has a number of policies and procedures related to facility use.  By completing an event request or vendor table form, you agree to abide by these policies and procedures.

Policies and Procedures are available on the College's Policy and Procedure website.  Policies and procedures related to facility use are located in the 100-199 Administrative/General Institutional tab.  Please make sure to review Policy, Procedure, and Procedural Guideline 120 - Use of Facilities.

What are your campus hours?

For details on when our campuses are open, please see the campus hours website.  Events that require the College to open outside of these hours can incur additional charges for security, IT, after-hours energy use, and any other expenses the College incurs for opening a campus.

Can College facilities be used for any kind of activity?

The College is not obligated to permit usage for any activity that may be contrary to public policy or the safety of the persons involved or property used; or is not in the best interest of the College.

What events and programs have priority at the College?

Instructional-related, programs, activities for students, and other College-related activities have priority over non-College activities.  The College is unable to move classes out of a classroom to accommodate a request for space.

When are classroom schedules published?

The classroom schedule for a given semester is not published until 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester to allow the College to add or cancel classes based on student needs.  Requests for classroom space during a semester cannot be finalized until the classroom schedule has been published.

Why does the College charge a rental fee for outside organizations?

State law requires that public entities, like colleges, receive "fair value" for the use of their facilities.  The College charges outside organizations a "fair value rent" for the use of facilities, tables, chairs, and technology equipment.  The College does offer discounted rental rates for non-profit organizations.

The College may provide waivers of rental fees for events sponsored by organizations who work towards goals that benefit the College, our students, or whose primary function benefits CCC.   For additional information on fee waivers and the criteria used to evaluate fee waiver requests, please contact the Office of the President at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 928-226-4217.  To be considered for a fee waiver, an event must meet the following criteria:

1. The activity for which the facility is to be used relates directly to the College’s mission of education and training.
2. The value or benefit that the College receives from the activity is substantially equivalent to the amount of rent that the College is foregoing.
3. The event is for a professional organization in which the employee or District Governing Board member actively participates, and whose objectives directly relate to the employee's work at the College or to the District Governing Board member's College responsibilities.
4. A CCC Employee or District Governing Board member participates in and is responsible for managing the event.

Can we serve food at our event?

Absolutely.  To meet the requirements of the College's insurance carrier, we ask that you use a professional caterer, local restaurant, or other professional food preparers such as grocery stores that prepare party trays.

Does the College provide Linens?

The College does not provide linens. We ask that you work with your professional caterer.  You may also contact local supply stores such as Mission Linen Supply or Total Grand Rentals.

Does the College have a list of required caterers?

You are welcome to use any caterer in Flagstaff. There are several caterers who have consistently worked on events for the College including Jitter's Lunchbox (conveniently located in our Lone Tree Commons), Simply Delicious/Cafe Daily Fare, Tamales USA, Main Street Catering, and NAU Catering.  There are also many restaurants that will cater or deliver food for your event.  Some that we have worked with include Wildflower Bread Company, Pita Jungle, and Olive Garden.  If you are looking for a lower-cost option, you might consider ordering party trays from one of the local grocery stores.

What are the college's insurance requirements for outside organizations?

Outside organizations are required to submit a certificate of insurance showing that the organization has insurance coverage, whether or not the group pays for the facility rental.

We ask that the certificate of insurance list the College as an additional insured with the address of the site hosting your event.  Certificates of insurance should have general liability minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

Please contact your organization's insurance agent for assistance in issuing a certificate of insurance.  If you do not have a carrier for event insurance, the College's carrier offers a plan through Tulip. Tulip Insurance information
