Study Space Reservation Policy

Study Space Reservation Policy

Who can use the study spaces? UConn Health students, residents, and fellows who make a reservation. Please note: We will need to cancel reservations that do not meet these eligibility criteria.

When can I reserve a space? You can reserve a space for use during regular library hours.

How long can I reserve a space? Reservations are for two (2) hours. You have 15 minutes after your reservation starts to arrive before it is canceled. At the end of those two hours, if no one is waiting, the user may book the space for two additional hours if space remains available. If the space has not been reserved by the end of the four (4) -hour reservation period, users may continue to occupy the space until another reservation is made. If a new reservation is made, the space must be vacated promptly. During periods of high demand, the library reserves the right to limit space use to the initial two (2) -hour reservation period.

*Please leave the space by the end of your reservation or five minutes before the library closes if you book the last appointment of the day.

Can I book multiple sessions? Reservations are limited to one session per day. Back-to-back, overlapping, or recurring bookings are not allowed. Any reservation of four (4) hours or more requires prior approval. These requests must be submitted at least two (2) business days in advance and should be directed to the Head of Access and User Services, Annmarie Magurany (magurany@uchc.edu).

How can I cancel a reservation? You can cancel your appointment with the link at the bottom of your Booking Confirmation email. In rare cases, we may need to cancel your booking if the space is needed.

Cancellation policy: You have 15 minutes after your reservation starts to arrive before it is canceled. If the user returns later in the day, outside of their reservation, they will be treated as a walk-in and will only be accommodated if space is available.
