Request a Research Carrel

Policy for Assignment of Study Carrels in the Joseph S. Stauffer Library

Applications will be assessed on a first come, first served basis.

You must return the carrel key to the Office of the Vice-Provost and University Librarian when your assigned period has expired. A $100 lock replacement charge will be added to student SOLUS accounts and faculty accounts if the key is not returned at the end of the assignment period.

Books kept in the locked bin must be signed out in the normal way. Failure to sign out books or the storing of journals will result in the loss of the assigned space.
