University of Texas Libraries

Group Study Room Reservation Policy

  • Current students can reserve a group study room through the library group study room reservation system.
  • Two or more UT Austin students constitute a group for the purposes of this service.
  • Group study rooms are available for reservation only during times the hosting library is open. They are intended ONLY for group study, not meetings, classes or related uses.
  • Reservations are limited to 4 hours total per EID per building per week. If a group wants the same room longer than that, another individual from that group must use her or his EID to make the reservation. (In this system, a one week period is defined as Sunday through Saturday, ending Saturday at midnight.)
  • A group that is more than 15 minutes late forfeits the reservation.
  • An individual may use a group study room, but only as a walk-up if no reservation is currently in place for that room. Patrons should not reserve a group study room for individual study.
  • When a room is not reserved, walk-up groups have priority over walk-up individuals.
  • Although the group study room is a more private space, sound can leak through the walls. Please keep the noise down so as not to disturb others. Cell phone conversations should be confined to elevator lobbies or the PCL lobby on the entry level.
  • Drinks with lids are permitted in group study rooms. Clean up the room before you leave so that it is ready for the next group.
  • See "How Do I?" for more information.
