Tentative Spring 2024 Final Exam Updates

Select Academic Common Space open until 1a.m.

Non-reservable access to academic common areas in Greene, Carswell, Manchester/Kirby, and Scales may be expanded for students until 1 a.m. during the Spring 2024 Final Exam Week (May 2-10, 2024). 

This limited pilot to expand building access for students does not apply to internal card readers, classrooms, and teaching studios and labs. These spaces will continue to be accessed by reservation and with space managers’ approval. Classroom reservation times will not be extended past 11 p.m.

Be sure to vacate any reserved space prior to the end of your reservation time.

Please note regular cleaning processes will still take place regardless of students studying in these spaces.

To gauge interest in these expanded hours, Student Government will place signs in common areas asking students to check in with a QR code leading to a brief, time-stamped Google form.
