Group Study Policy

Introduction

Please ensure you have completed a Group Study Booking Privileges form for the 2024-2025 academic year before submitting a Group Study Room Request.

Group study bookings will be done exclusively through our online booking program using the form below. Confirmed bookings will receive a booking slip. If you have not received a booking slip, the room has not been booked for your group. In person booking requests are no longer being accepted.

Group study is for groups of 4 or more students only. Smaller groups cannot be accommodated in the Group Study program.

I understand that rooms for Group Study are booked for a maximum of two hours at a time depending on availability, and that they are only available during MUSC office hours.

I am solely responsible for rooms signed out to me during the time period that they are signed out. Any unreported mess or damage in the room upon entering and/or caused while in my possession will be charged to me personally. Any fines must be paid before another booking is granted. Unpaid fines levied may be charged to my student account.

I will ensure that the room is clean, locked and secured before leaving the room.

I will ensure that I use the room only for the time period it is signed out to me.

I understand that keys returned late will incur fines. The cost to replace a lost key is $125.

I understand and acknowledge that violation of any of the above terms and conditions will result in a penalty, which may include termination of room booking privileges and/or fines.
