Study Rooms
Need a quiet space to study or collaborative space to work with your group? Dalhousie Libraries offers bookable study rooms across several library locations for quiet study, group work, meetings, and collaborative study.
Book a Study Room
Book a study room online using the booking system. Study rooms are for current Dalhousie students only. You must have a valid Dalhousie NetId and password to access the room booking system. You can:
- book up to 7 days in advance
- reserve a room for up to 2 hours
- manage or cancel your booking online
New! Check in to your study room
Our study rooms are in high demand! To make booking and accessing rooms easier, self-check-in will confirm your reservation when you arrive.
- Arrival: Use the code in your confirmation email or scan the QR code on the room door
- Leaving early? Scan the QR code again to check out so others can book the room
The device you use to check in must be able to share its location so the system can confirm that you are in the study room you booked.
Neither the booking system nor Dalhousie Libraries stores your location.
If you do not check in within 30 minutes of your booking start time, your booking will be automatically cancelled, and the room will become available for someone else to book.

The study rooms and collaborative rooms in our libraries and learning commons have unique features and booking durations. Be sure to read the details and descriptions on each study room booking page.
