Students who occupy a study room beyond their reserved time or repeatedly fail to show will revoke their study room privileges.
The Library may ask any occupant to leave a study room if complaints are received.
Failure to leave a study room when requested by library staff, regardless of reason, may result in loss of the privilege to use study rooms, a referral to the Dean of Students Office, and/or a referral to Campus Security.
To comply with safety and ADA regulations, we can’t allow blocking or covering of windows or doors, or the use of small appliances, such as crockpots, warming plates, heaters, coffee makers and etc.

The Library reserves the right to change these policies, deny reservations for a room, or to remove any group not conforming to the guidelines listed above.
