Coat Attendant Guidelines and Staffing Allotments

Coat Attendant Policies:

Event Practices for Attendants, Cleaners, and Laborers:

Guests who lose or misplace their coat check ticket will not be given any coat until the last person with a coat check stub has been accommodated (the only person who can usurp this guideline is the Building Venue Manager, Security or Event Supervisor)
Any items remaining or found at an event should be turned into the Public Safety Office in Low Library.

Coat Attendant Staffing:

Winter: Approximately December through March

One Coat Attendant will be scheduled for every 100 guests. No additional coat check tickets will be available unless an additional coat attendant is requested
Coat Attendants must be scheduled to begin one hour before the event start time or time doors will open.
Coat Attendants will remain at their post until one hour after the event end time, or until the last item is handed out to a guest.

One Coat Attendant will be scheduled for every 100-150 guests depending upon the weather forecast and type of event
