Use of the Learning Center rooms requires an understanding that users will return the room to an orderly condition. Tables must not be moved from their original position, and chairs should not leave the room. Tables should be wiped clean and all trash should be disposed of in the receptacles located outside of the room. Users should notify the Office of Curricular Affairs of rooms that are found in a disorderly state. Failure to follow these requirements may result in the loss of privileges for the student organization.
Note: Changing the configuration of a room requires prior approval from the Office of Curricular Affairs.
