If you are taking an exam please be sure to reserve a study room in the system. We have signs available, “Exam in Progress, Please Do Not Disturb”, that you are welcome to get from the staff at Circulation. If you have not reserved a room you may be asked to leave during your exam, regardless of any signage, which may affect the outcome of your exam.

If the time frame allowed for a room reservation is less than what your exam time is, please stop at the Circulation counter and we can assist you in your reservation. Please be aware that our rooms all have windows, no blinds and are not soundproof. Some exams may have certain specifications that would make our study rooms not appropriate for the exam.

It is always a good idea to check with Circulation to see if your reservation is set on the way up to the room if you did not receive a confirmation email.
