Sign-Ups
Sign-up sheets for individual rooms are up by 12:00 pm (noon) on Mondays for the following week. You can reserve a room in advance for up to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. Keep the sign-up sheets neat and legible. Make sure that the room you are signing up for has the software and/or hardware that you need to use. Remember that these are shared spaces. Only sign up for time that you will actually use and do not dominate a particular room and time slot.
You are not allowed to sign up for multiple rooms or check out multiple keys at the same time. If you use a room that you have not previously signed out, update the sign-up sheet. If you exceed your reserved time and no one has signed up for the time slot after yours, you can continue to use it.
If you do not show up within 30 minutes of your reserved time, your reservation will be considered canceled and another user may take your time slot. If you no longer need your reservation, or if you leave early, you must cross your name from the sign-up sheets using pen or whiteout. If you regularly cancel your reservation, it could lead to your access being restricted.
During your reserved time, we expect you to be using the room. Regular breaks are encouraged, but it is not allowed to keep a key to a room without using it for long periods of time (i.e. during a class). Food / beverages / pets are not allowed in the suites or labs.
