Group Study Room policies

The Group Study Rooms are to be used for small group study.

The rules are as follows:

• Groups of three or more will have priority use of group study rooms.
• Group study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the honor system. No reservations will be taken.
• All persons using the room must follow the NVCC student conduct policies outlined in <www.nvcc.edu/resources/stuhandbook/>. No smoking or other inappropriate behavior is permitted.
• Group study rooms are for group study only. Sleeping, card playing, partying and other non study activities are prohibited.
• If only one person is in the room, that person must vacate if requested by a group of three or more. One individual cannot hold the room for others who may be coming at a later time.
• Personal property may not be left unattended to reserve a study room by an individual or group. Personal property left unattended in an unoccupied study room is considered to be lost and will be removed. “Lost and Found” items can be claimed by owners at the Campus Police office LR267A.
• Other posted signs such as Occupied, Do Not Disturb, etc. are not permitted in the group study rooms. Any obstruction of the windows is prohibited.
• Privacy is not guaranteed when using the study rooms. NVCC staff reserve the right to enter any group study room at any time without prior permission of the occupants.
• Patrons must limit the amount of noise from conversations and equipment so as not to unduly disturb other patrons in the area. Audio-visual equipment may be used in study rooms as long as the sound does not disturb others outside the room. The use of earphones is encouraged. Patrons are also encouraged to use the audio visual equipment in the library.

Consequences of failing to comply with these rules:

Patrons failing to comply with these rules may be asked to leave the group study rooms. Campus Police will be contacted in the event of disruptive behavior.
