The first priority for IV Theaters is to support instruction at UCSB. Groups associated with UCSB can book IV Theaters when classes are not in session, usually during the weekends and evenings. 

Organizations not associated with UCSB who wish to book IV Theaters must partner with, or be sponsored by, a campus organization. Please contact the Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL) at: (805) 893-4569 or by email to SEAL at campusorgs@sa.ucsb.edu for more information.

Please note: There will be a labor charge to support events and meetings outside of regularly scheduled classes. For an estimate of expenses, please complete an Event A/V Support Request.

All booking requests must be submitted a minimum of 7 working days in advance to both IV Theater staff, SEAL and/or the Office of the Registrar. Room confirmation is not confirmation of media support or equipment availability, and vice versa.

Recharge Guidelines

Isla Vista Theater is a fully staffed building. If the venue is open, a representative of the theater must be in the building to assist with operating any equipment. Non-instructional uses of the space will incur a charge for this service.

Campus Affiliated Events

Renting organizations may need to provide ushers to organize the event and for patrons safety. You can contact Associated Students Event Staff at eventsafetyasst@as.ucsb.edu to request help from them. All renters must adhere to posted room capacities; failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your event.

IV Theaters are cleaned Sunday through Thursday with additional sweeps Monday through Friday to pick up newspapers, trash, etc. However, there may be trash left behind prior to an event. All renters are encouraged to provide volunteers to clean-up before and after their event. All renters must clean up and take out all trash in the theater at the end of their event. Renters will be charged for damage and/or excessive clean-up as a result of their event.

All security concerns are the purview of the UC Police Department. All events at IV Theaters should be vetted through the Minor Events Committee at which point the Police have the opportunity to evaluate security needs. Due to our location in Isla Vista, we require Campus Security Officer presence on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening events.

All cancellations must be submitted in writing iv.theaters@id.ucsb.edu, no less than 48 hours prior to your event.
