Facility Usage

General Policy

Clovis Community College, in keeping with its mission to serve Curry County as a comprehensive community college, provides the use of its facilities when the request does not conflict with the educational programs and purposes of the institution.

Individuals and groups using Clovis Community College facilities must abide by all College rules, as well as local, state and federal laws and regulations. Prohibited activities by community groups include recruiting for a specific religion or conducting religious services by one denomination.

Facilities will not be available for organizations sponsoring courses or educational programs that conflict with existing or planned programs offered by the College. Clovis Community College reserves the right to refuse the use of College facilities to any individual or group. The College also reserves the right to revoke permission to use the facilities even though prior consent may have been given.

The College has no desire to compete with private enterprise in the rental of either its facilities or services. The Facilities Schedule Specialist coordinates College facilities for non-instructional usage.

Facility Usage Guidelines

College-Sponsored Groups

College-sponsored groups may reserve facilities up to six months and no less than seven working days in advance of the event. Those groups not scheduling in a timely manner risk the unavailability of rooms or the inability of maintenance to provide room setups. Scheduling is done on a first-come, first-served basis.

Community Groups

Community groups may reserve facilities up to three months in advance of the event and no less than seven working days prior to their event. Clovis Community College cannot accommodate community groups for more than five consecutive working days for any one activity.

Extended scheduling (regular or intermittent scheduling for more than a one-month period) for community groups is sometimes possible by special arrangement. This extended scheduling may be permitted for special training sessions (as long as these sessions are not in conflict with existing or planned programs offered by the College).

The group or organization must provide the non-profit ID number (EIN) issued to the group by the IRS with their letter of determination.  The letter of determination will be kept on file for future bookings.
