Reserving a Group Study Room

In this short video, you will learn how to reserve a study room at the Sacred Heart University Library.

The library has study rooms that groups can check out for up to 3 hours per day. A group is considered to be 2 or more current SHU students. To reserve a group study room click on the “Reserve a Group Study Room” link in the “Using the Library” dropdown menu on the library’s homepage.

On the Student Study Rooms page you will see a chart for the rooms available for the current day. You can reserve rooms in advance or on the day of, although you may want to plan ahead as availability may be limited during peak times of the semester near midterms and finals. If you want to book a room on a future date, click on the “Go to Date” button to select your desired date.

When you have decided about the date and time you want, select it from the chart. Green means available and red means another group has booked it. Click on the green box for the time you want the reservation to start. To adjust the length of the reservation, choose a new end time in the dropdown box under the chart.

When you have made your selections, click “Submit Times”. On the next page, double-check the Booking Details to make sure the appropriate times are selected and then click “Continue”. Fill out the form with your name and email address. You must use your Sacred Heart email to reserve study rooms.

Once you click “Submit my Booking”, you will receive an email confirmation. When you arrive for your scheduled time, check in with the Service Desk. If you do not show up within 15 minutes of the start time, your booking may be cancelled.

Honors Students on the current honors list can also book single study rooms. On the same Student Study Rooms page, select Honors Students from the dropdown menu above the calendar. There is a maximum of 3 hours per day per student.
