Student Affairs in Higher Education: Graduate Reading Room & Other Spaces

Group study rooms (A-M, P-S, U) are available on level 2. These study rooms are on a "first come, first serve." If you need a study room for your group but a room has only one person using it, you may ask the person leave so that your group can work together. Check the Marriott Library maps to identify where these rooms are.

Rooms 2103, 2130S, 2130U and 2105 are available for scheduling in advance.
