Q. How do I find a group study room in the Learning Commons @ Library?

Group study spaces are available in the Learning Commons for groups of current HCC students to work together for academic purposes:

• three group study rooms - room numbers CL254, CL255, CL256;
• open area of the Learning Commons for quiet group work - reservation not needed.

Groups must use the online room bookings tool to request a room.

Please note the terms & conditions for using group study spaces:

• all group members must follow the HCC Student Code of Conduct (contained in the Student Handbook) - be respectful of library spaces, students around you, and HCC Library Staff.
• groups consist only of 2-4 current HCC students for Learning Commons study rooms.
• group work spaces are for academic purposes, such as group studying or group work on a computer or group viewing of video material for a course;
• within 15 minutes of the start of the reservation, at least 2 group members need to be present and remain in the group work space for the duration of the reservation, or the room may be given to another group.
• be courteous & exit the room by the end of your booking time.
• personal headphones need to be used when listening to audio - you may bring your own headphones or purchase them at the Check Out Desk.
• beverages may be consumed in group work spaces.
• group spaces may not be used by tutors or classroom instructors.
• library staff may need to modify room requests in order to maximize availability of group study spaces - this may include changing rooms, canceling requests, and/or reporting student code of conduct violations for not following space terms & conditions.
• requests must be confirmed using the link in the email sent to your HCC email address.

A group may reserve a group work space for up to three hours each day - three hours total use in either the Library or the Learning Commons.
