Hi XXXXX,
Thank you for your email! We noticed that one of the dates requested (DATEHERE) is a final exam date. Our office only schedules mandatory orientation events on final exam dates, and only with approval from the New Student Services Office. If you need to schedule your event on this date, please contact their office for this reservation:
nss@austin.utexas.edu
We will be able to process all other dates as requested. Confirmation emails will be sent out after all summer reservation requests have been processed, and by May 1st at the latest. Please feel free to let us know if we can be of further assistance!
Thank you,
