• The group study rooms may be used by full-time medical or graduate students enrolled in School of Medicine programs. Other groups may use a room, but must give up the room when full-time School of Medicine medical or graduate students need it.
• Group study rooms are only for groups of 2 or more people. If there are unoccupied rooms, a single person may use a room but must give up the room when a group is waiting to use it.
• Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Students may not leave items in a room. Leaving items in a room does NOT reserve the room. Once a room is left unoccupied, it is free for use by another group, whether or not personal belongings have been left behind.
• The group study rooms may only be reserved for curriculum-based classes or programs, and for various library programs. A School of Medicine faculty or staff member must make the reservations. Students are NOT allowed to reserve the rooms.

• Weekly reservation schedules are posted outside the door of each room.
