1. Does Civic permits prevent double booking of a space?: "Bulk" scheduling periods will allow users to submit requests for any times and dates that fall within the current permit period. Once Bulk scheduling is closed, new rolling requests cannot be made if a permit has already been issued, or is in the process of being issued, for the requested facility with overlapping dates and times.

2. Can I request multiple locations at the same time?: Yes, if the locations are grouped in the same category, such as two outdoor fields, or the Gym and Pool in the same facility. Requests that range across categories, such as an outdoor field and the gym, require two separate applications.

3. Can I make changes to a request once it's submitted?: Once a request is submitted, it cannot be altered. If you need to make changes, you can cancel the request and start over, or submit an additional request if more time is needed.

4. How will I know if my request is approved?: You will receive email updates at each step in the permitting process that explain the request's current status and what is needed to complete your reservation.

5. How do I pay online?: Click on the reservation you want to pay for, then click the "invoices" tab. Click the Pay by Credit Card link, and enter your payment information.
