Reserved Study Carrel Rules and Regulations
- You have priority use of your assigned carrel. The carrel is open for public use when not being utilized by you. If you arrive at your assigned carrel and it is in use by another student, you are more than welcome to politely ask them to leave or any of our staff working on the first floor service desk will be happy to inform the student.
- Library materials used in the carrels must be checked out as if they were leaving the building. Materials not checked out will be removed by the library staff.
- UTA Library Staff and emergency personnel have the right to open and inspect all Reserved Study Carrels at any time.
- The UTA Libraries assume no responsibility for personal items left in the Reserved Study Carrels. We ask that you keep all personal items at your assigned carrel locked at all times.
- The following are the reservation dates for all Reserved Study Carrels. You will be contacted to return your keys at the end of the reservation period. You can also re-apply using the online application form and select Renewal under Application Type prior to the ending of the reservation period. There are no renewals after the spring semester.
