Library Carrels
Forms and Documents
Eligibility & Application Process
Library carrels are available for reservation by active A&L PhD students and postdocs. Each March, Graduate Studies Coordinators will receive an email from the A&L Dean's Office with an application and instructions to distribute to their department's PhD students. Everyone requesting a carrel must complete an application whether they are applying for a new space or renewing the space they are currently occupying. Requests for eligible renewals are automatically granted. New requests are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the availability of vacant carrels.
Assignment Policies
- The number of study carrels with a window is extremely limited. Window carrels are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis and based on seniority.
- Only active PhD students may reserve a carrel. Anyone on leave must vacate their carrel and reapply when they return to active status.
- Carrels cannot be "bequeathed" to another student. If you are moving out and have a friend or colleague who wants to use your carrel, they must apply.
- Postdocs can apply for carrel space, but priority is given to PhD students.
