      • For cancellations/no shows: "Cancellations must be made in writing via email to uicmeetingsandconferences@gmail.com.  Failure to cancel an event and/or not showing up for a reserved event will result in a fine and disciplinary actions.  The first occurrence will result in a warning and a $25.00 fine.  The second occurrence will result in a $25.00 fine and a two week suspension with cancellation of any events during that time period.  Additional charges may be added for rooms with custom set ups.  The third occurrence will result in a $50 fine plus a sixteen week suspension with cancellation on any events during that time period."
    • Pay your invoices with the Office of Meetings & Conferences. Be sure to get a receipt of payment. Payments for events should be made prior to the event and must be paid within 30 days of the event.  Failure to pay within 30 days may result in loss of privileges to reserve rooms and cancellation of future reserved events and until the balance is paid.
