Virtual Calendar and Reservation Requests
For your convenience, we offer a virtual calendar by which you can check University Center room availability and request reservations. In order to submit a request through the virtual calendar, you will need a virtualems username and password. For those representing Webster University campus departments and student organizations, you can request a personal login by e-mailing ucreserve@webster.edu with your name, email address, phone number, and student organization/campus department. Once you are using the virtual calendar for your reservation requests, you have the ability to request changes to times, resources, set-ups or cancellations by logging in with your unique name and password. For questions, please contact the Information Desk at (314) 246-7105.
