Group Study Rooms: Policy

Fall 2024 - Reservations for Group Study and Zoom rooms end at 8 pm Sunday - Thursday.

Only currently enrolled UNO students may reserve these rooms.  There are 16 group study rooms for students to reserve for group work and six Zoom rooms for individuals to reserve for online classwork. Please note that the University Administration or the Library may reserve these rooms for special events such as the Homer Hitt Scholarship interviews and InnovateUNO. Please ask for assistance at the Library Services Desk to locate these rooms or check the library's floor maps.

Take care of our reserved study rooms! The groups or individuals who use the rooms are responsible for keeping them clean and graffiti-free. The Library will document users who do not clean up after using the room. Repeated issues with cleanliness and/or graffiti will lead to the suspension of reservation privileges. Rooms that are too dirty for use will be removed from the schedule until they can be cleaned. Room keys must remain in the Library!

Group Study Rooms can be reserved for up to four (4) hours a day.
