Hosting events through College Life


Office of College Life oversees student activities and events that celebrate achievements, bring the campus community together, and give students a well-deserved break from studies. From Homecoming to Graduation, there's always something happening at De Anza!

  

Campus Events


Come play! Events on campus are organized by the Office of College Life, DASG, and the Inter Club Council (ICC). Take a look at some events we've hosted throughout the year:

Reserving Event Space


The Office of College Life and the Student Activities Coordinator will guide you through the reservation process. Do not attempt to reserve space directly through Facilities — all event space for DASG, ICC, and clubs must go through the Office of College Life.

Confirmation Required!

No space is considered reserved until you receive a confirmation email from the Office of College Life. Completing a form alone does not guarantee your space.

The most common event spaces available are:

  • Hinson Campus Center (HCC) — for larger gatherings and student events
    • Council Chambers, Conference rooms A+B, Fireside room, Dining hall
    • Smaller rooms available: Don Bautista room, El Clemente room, Santa Cruz room
  • Lecture Halls and Classrooms — for meetings, screenings, and smaller events
    • MLC, L-Quad, G-Wing, S-Quad, Forum, Kirsch Center, MCC, and more

How to Submit an Event Request


  1. Brainstorm with your organization, committee, or club.

    Determine the type of event, estimated attendance, space needs, and any vendors or equipment required. Take a look at our Available Event Spaces.

  2. Meet with your advisor(s).

    Confirm they are available to support the event from setup through teardown. Advisor attendance is required for all events.

  3. Meet with your DASG or ICC Advisor.

    Confirm you have the space, funding, marketing, and any internal or external vendors needed for a successful event.

  4. Complete and submit the Event Space Request Form.

    Have your advisor sign the form to acknowledge their attendance and support. You will upload this signed document in the next step.

  5. Upload the Event Submission Form (Microsoft Form).

    Upload your signed Event Space Request Form when prompted. Your space is not reserved until you receive a confirmation email from the Office of College Life.

Note: The Event Submission Form requires a Microsoft 365 login. When prompted, enter user@fhda.edu in the "Email or phone" field. You may need to log in through MyPortal first. View the Microsoft 365 for Students page for instructions.
