2. Reminder: Reserving Study Group Rooms
This is a friendly reminder that students must reserve study group rooms online to use them. At times, the building has events scheduled in these rooms and so it is important that the rooms are reserved in advance to avoid inconveniencing both event participants and study groups. As the end of the quarter approaches, when there is high usage of the study group rooms, reserving in advance online is critical. Please click here for more information.
