Reserve a Teaching Space
Teaching spaces come in a variety of options from classrooms with presentation technologies and video streaming to large lecture halls and dedicated learning spaces designed with wrap-around services like the ACCelerator. Reserve a room through the Ad Astra Room Scheduling system. (Please make your request at least 24 hours in advance.)
Use a Computer Center

To request a reservation for a class meeting, please submit the Computer Center request form. Please view the Student Technology Access website to ensure that the software you would like to use is available.
