  • 4 study carrels are available for a 2-week checkout, with one renewal, subject to availability.

Short-term "Zoom rooms" are sound dampening and are fully closed from floor to ceiling. These rooms are intended for students attending online classes or engaged in teleconferences. UA employees may reserve them for one-off meetings, but they are not meant to substitute for regular faculty and staff offices. Talking and some computer noise are allowed and expected.

• Eligibility: Graduate or Undergraduate students. UA employees (for one-off meetings).
• Availability: Zoom rooms can be booked on the spot (if available) or in advance, for a maximum of one day. Advance bookings may not repeat for an entire semester.

Long-term individual study carrels are intended to facilitate the work of graduate students who need long-term access to materials in the Rasmuson Library’s collections.

• Eligibility: Graduate students; undergraduate students (lower priority).
• Availability: Study carrels are available to current graduate students for one semester (or two summer sessions), with a one semester renewal option. Undergraduates may apply for carrels after the first three (3) weeks of the semester, with no renewal option. Patrons must reapply for additional semesters.

The late fee for returning carrel keys is 50 cents per hour.
