• Groups may obtain immediate access to any unoccupied group study room by asking at the appropriate service desk (see below).
• Groups may make reservations up to 7 days in advance by going to ouor Group Study Rooms Reservations page. Reservation periods are for 3 hours, but may be extended if there are no succeeding reservations or requests for use.

• A reserved room will be held for 15 minutes beyond the start time of the reservation; if unclaimed for use by the reserving group after 15 minutes, the room will be made available to other users.
