• Groups may make reservations up to 7 days in advance by going to our Group Study Rooms Reservations page, or by phoning 593-2699.
• 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.
• An individual may request, at the service desk, to use an unoccupied group study room. However, a group will take precedence over an individual at any time.
