Booking guidelines

This is a shared service available to all UVic students. In an effort to provide fair opportunities to all, everyone is expected to follow the same guidelines:

  • No food or open drink containers allowed
  • You have a daily booking limit of 2 hours
  • Be prepared to leave at the end of your booking if there's someone after you
  • If you can't make your booking, please cancel it to free up the time slot
  • Bookings will be held for 15 minutes after the schedule start time
