How to Book a Room

Booking rooms in the Gateway and Cory Hall via a bCal room resource calendar is a three-step process:

  1. View room availability in the tables below to find a room that meets your needs.  At the Google login screen, log in with your full @berkeley.edu email address, click Next, then supply your CalNet passphrase. 
  2. Create an event on your own calendar:
    • Log into bCal.berkeley.edu
    • On your own calendar, begin to create an event as you normally would
    • Click “Edit event”
    • On the right side of the window, click the “Rooms, etc.” link under Add.
    • Type in “Cory” or “the Gateway” to limit it to one building.  Be sure that the “Show only available” box is checked!
    • Click “Add” next to the room you want.
    • Configure the rest of your event settings and click “Save”. Please note that all events must include a name and description. Include the following information in the description:
      • Event description
      • EECS Affiliation (i.e., course, organization, etc.)
      • Number of participants
      • Speaker list and affiliation (if applicable)
    • We recommend that you do not invite guests until after your event has been confirmed by the room scheduler.
  3. Receive meeting confirmation within 4 business days. THE BOOKING WILL NOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL YOU RECEIVE EMAIL FROM THE ROOM SCHEDULER APPROVING YOUR EVENT.

  • If your group is on the list, you may check availability by signing in with your @berkeley.edu email address and then your CalNet credentials
