Renting Process

EMCC charges fair-market rates for use of its facilities which are determined by the Maricopa County Community College District (rates have been updated by the District and are in effect as of July 1, 2019). Commercial entities and members of the general public are charged standard rates, while government and community entities may be eligible for discounted rates, excluding services and equipment, if applicable. A "community entity" is a corporation or other legal entity whose business is non-commercial; is unrelated to the Maricopa County Community College District; and is recreational, educational, political, economic, artistic, moral, scientific, social, religious or for some other civic purpose in the interest of the community.

Payment is required within 30 days of the event.

Please note that events that occur after 5:00pm or on Saturdays, have a 25% increase for the rental space.

Certificate of Insurance is required for all facility rentals prior to the event. Please see the Certificate of Insurance requirements link for more information.

If you do not have insurance we do offer a low cost Tenant User Liability Insurance Policy (TULIP). For more information on TULIP see the risk management webpage.

TULIP (Tenant User Liability Insurance Policy) provides special event liability insurance to non-Maricopa County Community College District facility users who do not carry liability insurance. The program is offered by the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) to assist facility users to purchase low cost general liability insurance for specific events held at MCCCD facilities. It protects both the facility user and MCCCD against claims by third parties who may be injured as a result of participating in an event.

To apply for special event insurance through TULIP, please complete the online request form located at: https://tulip.ajgrms.com/ Click on “Quick Quote" at the top of the page. You can either select Arizona and then click on Maricopa County Community College District or use code 4918.

Please read the TULIP Manual for important information before applying.
