Can I use a student group study room if I am not with a group?

The rooms are designated for group collaboration, NOT individual study. You may use a room alone if it is not reserved, but please be gracious when asked to surrender the space if requested by a group.

Can I use a student group study room for tutoring or other formal/informal instruction sessions?

Student group study rooms are intended for use by students for group work. Due to the high demand, we cannot accommodate use of these rooms for instructional purposes such as recurring class meetings, tutoring sessions, exam reviews etc.

I am a faculty member. May I make a recurring reservation for a student group study room for class purposes?

Sorry, they are not intended for recurring class meetings. We have very few student group study rooms and there is high demand for them. They are intended for collaborative student use only. Occasional use by a faculty member for a special class session can be accommodated. Please contact the Library Services Desk with questions.

I’m a law student. May I reserve a group study room?
