Guidelines for Group Study Rooms
The Library provides seven group study rooms for students who need a space to study, collaborate, and discuss. Each room has a table, 2 white boards, white board markers, and chairs. Preference is given to groups who need to hold group discussions.
Reservations
- Only currently enrolled students can reserve a study room with their RHC email by submitting an online booking.
- Group study rooms may be reserved up to a week in advance.
- Group study rooms may be reserved for a maximum of two hours per day.
- If no one arrives within 15 minutes of a reservation time, the reservation may be forfeited.
- If a group study room is left unattended at any time, a reservation is forfeited automatically.
Usage and Rules
- No food or drinks are allowed in study rooms (except for water).
- Due to safety concerns, blocking windows with white boards or other objects is prohibited.
- Keep an eye on your things: the Library is not responsible for items or personal belongings left unattended in study rooms.
- Students must keep study room sessions quiet to avoid disturbing others outside: study rooms are not soundproof.
- Group study rooms are to be used for academic purposes only (i.e., no sleeping, playing video games, etc.).
- Private, commercial tutors are not allowed to use group study rooms. RHC tutors may use study rooms but should seek to work in spaces within their center, lab, or department/division.
- Students who use group study rooms are solely responsible for controlling the noise level, keeping the room clean, and, as a courtesy to the next group, erasing whiteboards upon leaving.
Violation of any of these guidelines may result in permanent loss of group study room privileges.
