Making a Room Reservation at CDU
CDU now uses Astra scheduler for all room bookings (classes and events). All CDU faculty and staff can log into Astra using the SSO (same as your CDU email or Blackboard). In Astra, you can see the events calendar, and make room and space requests. You can also see what is available when you are making a request. At the time you make the request, you can indicate specific rooms (if you want to), and which services you may need (e.g. A/V support, custodial, campus safety etc.)- those groups will be notified of the request.
All room requests run through an approval process, but placing the request in Astra puts a hold on the room, so double booking will not occur. No reservation is final until you receive a confirmation!
How to Make a Reservation
Astra allows you to request space for an “Event”, and an Event can have multiple meetings (e.g. a specific room at a specific time and date). So, if you are requesting multiple rooms for an event (e.g. a conference with breakout sessions), you create 1 event, and attach multiple meetings to it (one for each room you will be using). You can also set up recurring events (e.g. monthly lecture series).
