Scheduling Dates
Referencing Facilities Use and Scheduling Procedures C.1, C.2
To schedule an Astra Training or for any event related questions, please contact Facilities Reservations at fres@csuchico.edu.
Event-related requests are now primarily managed directly through the Astra scheduling software. Here's what you need to know about the process:
Astra Guest Access
- All users logging into Astra Schedule with their Chico State credentials are automatically granted Guest Access permissions.
- This access allows non-approved Astra users (staff/faculty) to view the General Use Conference and Lecture Room Calendars.
- Event Requests: Faculty and staff must continue to submit event requests through their college/department ASC or designated scheduling contact, as Guest Access permissions have limited request capabilities.
- Student Event Requests: Students must still visit Student Life & Leadership (SLL) to submit event requests.
- Requesting Services: Please submit a Facility & Equipment Request Form (FERF) to FRES@csuchico.edu to request additional services for your event.
