Study Room Policies
Study Rooms are intended to support academic work by groups of UW or Cascadia students, staff and faculty working on group projects, studying together, or conducting meetings. Priority use of the rooms will be given to students using them for group study. They are not intended for use as individual study carrels or as general-purpose classrooms. Due to the popularity of these rooms, the library has established reservation policies for their use.
-
Library staff at the Information Commons desk on the first floor will cancel room reservations if violations of the following policies are reported to them. Call 425-352-5340 or visit the desk for assistance.
-
Rooms LBA-303 and LBA-304 can be reserved for use by one person as well as by groups of people.
-
All other rooms can only be reserved by groups of current UW or CCC students, staff, and faculty. A group is considered to be two or more people.
-
Rooms can be reserved for up to 2 hours by an individual or group. If a room is still available within 15 minutes of the end of your reservation, you may place a new reservation in the system for an additional 2 hours.
-
You may only have one active room reservation at a time.
-
Rooms are meant to be shared by as many student groups as possible. Back-to-back and/or multiple reservations by a group are not allowed and may be cancelled by library staff if rooms are in high demand.
-
If after 15 minutes a group fails to appear, the reservation can be cancelled by Library staff and the room can be scheduled for another group. This is also true if only one person is using a room intended for group use.
-
Rooms can be reserved up to 2 weeks in advance.
-
Instructors cannot reserve rooms for classroom use, office hours, or class meetings. For class related room needs, Cascadia Faculty can contact the CCC Faculty Support Office (425) 352-8175 and UW Bothell Faculty can contact Administration and Planning at uwbrooms@uwb.edu or (425) 352-5404.
-
Non-UW/CCC patrons and off-campus borrowers (Alumni, Summit, etc) cannot reserve these rooms, but may use them if they are unoccupied. They will be asked to leave if a UW/CCC affilliated group wishes to use the space.
-
You decide whether your reservation is private or public. If you set your reservation to private, no-one will be able to see your reservation information. Library staff will not disclose what room you are in to other individuals who request it (including your group members). Past room reservation information is kept for statistical purposes and would be disclosed to law enforcement upon request.
-
Current food and drink policies apply to the use of group study rooms. Groups must leave study rooms in clean condition.
-
UW Libraries Code of Conduct applies to the use of study rooms.
-
STUDY ROOMS ARE NOT SOUNDPROOF. Please be conscientious of your neighbors.
