Chartered student organizations (CSOs) and registered student organizations (RSOs) may reserve university-owned vans to use for off-campus trips.

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) manages a van fleet of 7 vans. Each van is a Toyota Sienna and seats up to 8 people including the driver. Luggage, equipment, and other transported items may decrease the seating capacity, however.

Note: Reservation requests do not guarantee that we will have vans available for the dates you need so be prepared for alternate transportation if we are not able to fulfill your request.

Reservation Priority

Reservation priority groups:

• 1st priority group: SCCAP and Into the Wild
• 2nd priority group: all other CSOs and RSOs
• 3rd priority group: university departments

Reservation Protocol

Protocol for reserving vans:

• Email scuvans@scu.edu and await approval.
• Once approved, instructions to access the key(s) for the van(s) will be provided.
• See the “Key Access” section below for details about accessing and returning van keys.

Van Reservation Calendar

It is encouraged to view the online Van Reservation Calendar first prior to submitting reservation requests to see how many vans (if any) are available for the dates needed.

• Van Reservation Calendar
• You must be logged in to your SCU email account to view.
• The calendar is not viewable if you are logged in to a personal (non-SCU) Gmail account.
• If needed, email scuvans@scu.edu to inquire about van availability.

Key Access

Pin number:

• Each group with a confirmed reservation gets assigned a 3-digit pin number to access keys located in a key box located at Benson Memorial Center.

Key box:

• The key box is located on the wall to the right of the entrance to the California Mission Room at Benson Memorial Center (basement level across from the Cellar Market).
• Each group uses the assigned 3-digit pin number to unlock the key box.
• Once the key box is open, the group finds its assigned keys and removes them.
• Upon return from the trip, the group must use the same pin number to unlock the key box and place the keys back inside.
• Be sure that the key box is closed and locked after removing and returning keys (the pin number may need to be re-entered to lock the box).

Van Parking

All vans are parked in designated parking spots in the Main Parking Structure (across from the Malley sand volleyball court) on the 2nd floor to the right of the elevator.

• Once the group is done with the vans, they must be parked in these same spots in the Main Parking Structure.
• If the designated parking spot is not available when returning the van, the van must be parked somewhere else in the Main Parking Structure (not in another parking garage or lot elsewhere on campus).
• Keeping vans in the Main Parking Structure helps other groups locate them if they are not in their designated parking spots.

Driver Approval

Each student driver of vans needs to complete the following form (once per academic year, not for every trip):

• Driver Agreement Form (online form)
