Days and Hours of Use

The LRC will be open for student use Mondays through Fridays from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

A student should ensure that LRC staff know their needs, i.e.: space for study only or use of student’s own computing devices; use of a college computer for general computing or study needs; use of a computer with Respondus LockDown Browser for specific testing purposes; or use of a collaborative space accommodating up to four students for small group study/work. If testing is required, students should make their appointments early enough in the morning or the afternoon to allow sufficient time for completion of their test before the LRC closes. Also, students are asked to notify the LRC if you are unable to keep an appointment.
