Lab Reservation Policy

Back to Overview

Please familiarize yourself with our Lab Reservations Policy, presented below. Once you have read the policy you may continue by selecting the button at the bottom of the page.

1. A representative of the group making a reservation must be present during the reservation (in the case of a class related reservation, this must be the professor or his teaching assistant.) If a representative does not appear by fifteen minutes after the scheduled time, the reservation will be considered canceled, and the lab will be opened to for general usage.

2. Reservations may only be made for the time periods that a lab is normally open. Certain labs (Rich Student Multimedia Workshop) may be available at times when no User Assistant is on duty. The Student Center lab may not be reserved for any purpose. All other labs can only be used when a User Assistant is on duty; keys to the labs will not be issued to professors, teaching assistants, or students.

3. Because there is limited space in the labs, vacant seats will be made available to other users. The representative can ask the User Assistant on duty to remove any user who is disturbing the class.

4. The representative is responsible for making sure that any equipment used is returned to its original state. This includes cleaning any whiteboards used.

5. Reservations are made on a first come, first served basis. Reservation requests should be submitted at least five working days before the first session. Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance.

6. Special software or files required for a class must be submitted at least five working days in advance of the first session. Unless otherwise directed, supplied software will be removed from the lab shortly after the last session of the reservation.
