Norris Center Online Room Request 

Getting Started
The Norris Center Event Management Office provide services to all University departments
and ASG-recognized student organizations for scheduling and producing non-academic,
non-classroom and non-research activities.  This system allows authorized individuals to request space
at the Norris University Center and Ryan Auditorium (evenings and weekends).
 
First time users must request an EMS account. You must be a representative of a Northwestern University
Department or Recognized Student Organization. Your request will be pending until it is reviewed by Norris
Event Management staff. You will receive confirmation via email once your account is approved. To request an
account select My Account > Create an Account and submit all required information.
 
Account requests will be denied if submitted without a valid Northwestern email account
(@northwestern.edu, @dept.northwestern.edu or @u.northwestern.edu), or if there is
missing or incomplete information. Please allow 2 buisiness days for account activation.
 
If you have questions at any step of the online reservation process, please click the blue question mark (?) for quick
FAQs. If you have further questions, please contact Norris Event Planning.
