Effective April 1, new changes come into effect as the result of an update to Sheridan’s policy on the Use of Facilities for Non Academic Purposes.
The updated policy notes that all requests for use (by both internal and external clients) must be made in advance and in writing. Ancillary Services has been named in the policy as the department with the authority to approve the use of such space.
Employees and students will continue to have access to the use of facilities free of charge provided that the participants are employees or students or that the event directly relates to a student and/or employee’s duties and primary mandate at Sheridan. The policy also outlines when a fee for use may apply, particularly in the case of external, commercial use. The updated policy differs from the existing policy in that it outlines the rules and restrictions associated with use of the newly opened Sheridan Conference Centre and it sets parameters for demonstrations.
The accompanying procedure identifies the proper channels, contacts and forms required by all users for various types of facilities booking requests.

We expect that the updated policy and procedure will assist Sheridan to maintain a respectful and civil environment, uphold the safety and security of its community, protect its facilities from damage, safeguard Sheridan’s reputation, respect the right to freedom of expression and lawful assembly and better manage the expectations of all users.
