Library Study Room Policy

University Libraries Study Rooms are designated to support CU Boulder faculty, staff and students in their academic work. Rooms are available to current CU Boulder faculty, staff and students with a valid CU Boulder Buff OneCard.

• The names associated with reservations will not be shared with other users.
• Ongoing office hours or classes are not permitted in study rooms.
• Activities deemed by Security or other Libraries staff to be disruptive to other users will not be permitted in the study rooms.
• Failure to comply with the Libraries study room policy may result in eviction from the room and denial of future reservations. Infractions will be reported to Libraries Security or CUPD.
• Rooms should be left in an orderly fashion and all trash properly disposed of or removed.
• The libraries are not responsible for personal property left in rooms.
• Rooms may not exceed posted capacity.
