Library study carrels are reserved primarily for graduate students and faculty. The demand for closed spaces far exceeds supply and waiting lists are maintained in the Privileges Office. Only current faculty and PhD candidates may apply for closed spaces. The average wait for a space is 8 months, but actual time may vary. Students must already be admitted to candidacy before they may be placed on the waiting list.
Open spaces are available to any graduate student or faculty member.
Honors undergraduates writing a thesis, may apply for an open space only, on a space available basis, with a letter of request from their department or advisor. Applications for new spaces, or for the waiting list, may be obtained from the library privileges office. Only those renewing a current carrel assignment may use the on-line form . In any case, all assignments must be renewed yearly. Failure to renew may result in removal from the carrel.
