Reserve a Study Room at PCL

Please Note: UT Libraries does not provide access to private spaces for remotely proctored exams and does not support or provide access to remote proctoring software on library computers. 

Study Room Policies

  • Group Study Rooms are for current university students only.
  • Study rooms in the PCL Scholars Commons are for graduate students only.
  • A group is defined as two or more students.
  • These rooms are intended only for collaborative study, not meetings, classes, or any other related uses.
  • Group Study Rooms are available for reservation only when hosting the Libraries location is open.
  • Each reservation must be made on the hour or half-hour and be at least 1 hour (60 minutes) in duration. No more than 4 1-hour reservations may be made within one 24-hour period.
  • Reservations are limited to 4 hours total per EID per week. To reserve a room for longer than 4 hours or make multiple reservations exceeding 4 hours in a given week, another individual from the group must use their EID to make the reservation.  (A one week period is defined as Sunday through 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. Rooms may not be reserved for individual study.
  • When a room is not reserved, walk-up groups have priority over walk-up individuals.
  • Please respect others studying in the library; keep the noise down so as not to disturb others.
  • Clean up the room before you leave so that it is ready for the next group.
  • The Libraries reserves the right to limit future Group Study use if the system is abused.

Faculty/TAs/AIs

  • Library group study rooms are NOT available for class meetings, review sessions or extended office hours.
  • Faculty and non-student staff members can reserve rooms on campus for classes, exams and review sessions through the Office of the Registrar at 512-475-7600 or Email: scheduling@austin.utexas.edu.
