Party Planning

Village Housing Party Planning

If you want to have party in your village housing space, planning a party is quick and painless. Please follow the simple steps below to plan a successful party in your village house.

  1. Contact Residential Education at 440-775-8472 to schedule a meeting with the Assistant Director responsible for Village Housing. This meeting must take place no later than the Wednesday before your event.
  2. Once the meeting is scheduled, show up! At this meeting you will be given an application to fill out. The application asks basic information including the names of your guests, date of function, notification of your neighbors, etc…
  3. Before you leave this meeting, the Assistant Director will schedule another meeting with you to look at your village housing space. This meeting will help determine the amount of guests you can have at your party, make sure there are no safety issues, etc… Also, the Assistant Director will discuss with you how to keep your belongings safe, things to watch out for, and what to do if your party gets out of hand.
  4. Once you have been approved for a party, send your guest list to the Assistant Director by 12 pm, noon, on the Friday before you event

That’s it!!! See how easy that is!
