When can I register for a carrel?

Good news: we are returning to our much loved, and time-honored tradition of assigning carrels on a first come, first served basis! If sleeping on a cold hard floor to better your chances of getting the carrel you want is your thing, go for it!
- We will open the doors at 8 a.m. on Monday, September 12th. We suggest you come with a few preferred carrel options in case your first or second choice is unavailable.
- Seniors not writing a thesis and juniors writing a thesis may request a carrel on Tuesday, September 13th.

Lockers are assigned for the entire academic year or the summer months.
