- A reservation that is held during normal operating hours allows admission for up to 25 guests access to the outdoor pool. Groups may self-cater their event with prior approval from Department of Wellness staff. Self-cater is defined as food and beverage brought onto campus by hosts of the party.

- Groups are not allowed to access the pool without prior arrangement/reservation requests being confirmed via email from the Department of Wellness scheduling staff.
