Policies and Procedures
  1. Rooms will be reserved (i.e., blocked out) for colloquia and other division/department functions a semester in advance. Rooms will not be available for different functions at these times.
  2. Once division/departmental functions have been reserved, reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Authorized users can reserve any of the above items for any period. The default setup prohibits conflicts. This can be turned off per reservation, but we strongly recommend against this practice.
  3. When a room is reserved, please list the purpose for which it will be used (e.g., class, committee meeting, colloquia, thesis defense, faculty meeting, research meeting, instructors meeting, etc.) and the person responsible for the reservation. This information should be entered in the Event Title field when making a reservation
  4. Please remove a reservation from the calendar if it is no longer needed.
  5. If a room is already reserved when you wish to use it, contact the person who holds the current reservation to see what accommodations can be made.
  6. If you have a class in one of these rooms, be sure it is reserved using this room reservation system. Rutgers scheduling cannot schedule these rooms, so you must reserve these rooms utilizing this system to avoid conflicts.
  7. Classes should not be scheduled in any conference room before 4:30 PM. If you have a class that meets before 4:30, please reserve one of the classrooms.
  8. Reservable equipment is intended for academic purposes. Please describe in your reservation what class the equipment will be used for. Equipment should not be kept overnight. Equipment can be picked up and dropped off at Core 235 (phone: 848-445-2443) during normal operational hours.
