  2. Group Study Rooms Rules

Who May Reserve a Group Study Room?

  • AUC students, faculty, and staff may reserve the group study rooms at the Main Library.
  • Group study rooms are designed exclusively for groups of three or more users, not individuals or pairs. 
  • The user reserving the room must be present at time of use and will be held accountable for any rules’ violations and ineligible uses such as non-academic or commercial activities.

How to Reserve a Group Study Room?

  • Use the dropdown menu above to check the availability of study spaces on all floors.
  • You must have a valid AUC email address to reserve a room.
  • Reservations are offered in 30-minute time slots. You may reserve a room for up to 2 hours (4 slots).
  • After submitting your request, you will receive an email confirming your reservation and including the check in URL and code.
  • When you arrive for your booking, scan the QR code next to your space (if the QR code is available) or open the URL and enter the code to check in.
  • If you do not check in within 15 minutes of your booking start time, your reservation will be automatically cancelled.
  • Keep the confirmation email for future reference.

Rules for Using a Group Study Room

  • Users of the library group study rooms must abide by the AUC’s Code of Conduct and the AUC Libraries Shared Space Guidelines.
  • Users assume responsibility for the conduct of all group members and the condition of the room.
  • Users should respect the space and leave the room clean (clean the whiteboard, return furniture to original location, dispose of garbage properly, remove books and library materials).
  • Users should report any damage or major mess (like spills) you find in the room to the Help Desk (Plaza Level) as soon as you notice it. If damage or mess is discovered after your use, you may be held responsible.
  • Users should keep the windows and doors clear and uncovered with paper or any materials that will prevent monitoring of activities in the group study room.
  • Users should do not use electrical appliances in the group study rooms, like coffee makers, hot plates, etc.
  • Food and beverages are not allowed, water is the only beverage permitted inside the library.
  • Conversations should be held to a reasonable noise level. The rooms are not soundproof and excessive noise disturbs others studying in the area.
  • Users are responsible for personal property. Do not leave items unattended. The Library is not liable for loss or damage to personal property.
  • All users in the group must vacate the group study room at the end of the reservation period.

Failure to abide by Library policies may result in a loss of your room reservation and being banned from reserving any group study rooms for the entire semester.
