To request UMEMS team coverage at an event, fill out an event request form below.
Requests should be made as soon as possible; late fees will be assessed if the event is fewer than 10 business days away.
Internal Events
Internal events are those funded solely by the University of Minnesota. Internal event rates are based on expected/actual event attendance. Rates for internal events have a 4-hour minimum, with additional time billed in hourly increments. If you have questions about rates, contact UMEMS at [email protected].
External Events
These are events funded all or in part by an organization outside the University of Minnesota. Please note the limitations:
FY 2025 Rates
Micro Events: (<500 attendees, small venue): $100/2 hours
Micro Events are for smaller venues such as club rooms, ballrooms, etc., with less than 500 attendees, and no increased physical risk (no athletics, acrobatics, etc.). Micro events are staffed with 1-2 EMTs and appropriate equipment. An ambulance is not available for Micro Events. All patients requiring transport will have local EMS requested by the EMT while they are providing initial care.
Micro-Plus Events: (<500 attendees, small venue): $675/3 hours
Micro Plus events are for similar venues to the Micro Event, but where either there is increased physical risk (athletics, acrobatics, etc.), or where an ambulance is requested to stand by to transport any patients only requiring Basic Life Support, or where the event coverage is requested off-campus (note we do not guarantee availability for off-campus events). Micro Plus events are staffed with 4 EMTs and an ambulance as required.
Small Events: (<7,500 attendees): $1,200/4 hours
Medium Events: (7,500-15,000 attendees): $1,600/4 hours
Large Events: (>15,000 attendees): $2,200/4 hours

Event Request Form
UMEMS has launched an online event request form. For most events, this form will allow you to provide all the information we need to schedule your event. If you have an event that spans more than 3 days, please also download the schedule spreadsheet so you may attach the schedule to your online request.
