Room Booking Update for the start of Semester 2

​

After the cyber attack we temporarily had to make use of a room booking form and the room booking site was only available in a very restricted capacity. We're happy to say that that is no longer the case!

​

To book rooms use the socs room booking website which you can find here (not the link on your dashboard). The dark blue room booking tab on the socs.nuigalway.ie homepage will also take you to the correct website.

​

Steps:

1) Click 'login' in the top right corner and this will bring you to another page with a log in button which you may have to click a few times.

This second page will bring you to the yourspace login page where you should log in as you would normally.

After logging in you will be brought back to the roombooking site where you can make a booking by clicking on the time slot that you would like.

​

If you are experiencing any difficulties booking rooms on the website, take a screen grab of the error and email us the details at socsbox@socs.nuigalway.ie (please include: what you tried to do, when you got the error, and the type of error).

If you encounter these issues you can tell us the details of your booking and we will make it on your behalf.
 

2) Societies post your event to the calendar in your dashboard.

​

Note: As of Jan 30th socs in-person events require:

proof of vaccination or proof of immunity (which is when an attendee has proof of having recently recovered from Covid-19),
