Library Policies

Student Group Study Rooms

Policy

It is the policy of the Library to provide quiet areas for group study for students. The library has six rooms designated as Student Group Study Rooms: L213, L212, L211, L210, L209, and L208.

• Rooms can be used for academic group study or students working on community projects.
• Preference is given to student groups of two or more. Individuals using a room alone may be asked by Library Staff to vacate the room if it is needed by a student group.
• Student groups may reserve a room for up to three hours in a single day. Individuals should not make reservations.
• Student groups may reserve a room up to 14 days in advance.
• Same day use is on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Reservations for groups are not required but are highly recommended and must be made at least 12 hours in advance. Reserve online or call/visit the Check Out desk (908-429-4252)
• A student RVCC email address will be required to make a reservation
• If a group who has reserved the room is more than 15 minutes late, the reservation will be cancelled and the room made available to other student groups.
• If no other reservations have been made, a student group can extend their reservation for an additional three hours by informing a library staff member at the Check Out Desk before the initial three hours expire.
• The Library is not responsible for personal belongings left unattended in group study rooms; unattended items will be sent to the Security Office.
• If a student group is abusing their use of the room (i.e., making loud noise, food, playing games, etc.), Library Staff will ask the group to leave.
• Non-college affiliated business may not be conducted from the RVCC Student Group Study rooms.
• No food is allowed in student group study rooms, or anywhere in the Library.
