Room Policies & Resources

Reserving Classrooms in Cognitive Science

In Summer and Fall 2024, the university is transitioning to a new campus-wide room-scheduling system. While we acclimate to the new system and until further notice, all department members and CogSci/Ling undergraduates should direct their room requests via email to Chamera Sampson both for departmental classrooms and external rooms.

Anyone from external to the department who would like to request use of one of our departmental classrooms below should submit their request via 25Live. If you are unfamiliar with 25Live, see if an administrator in your department/center/institute/office can assist. Otherwise, contact Chamera Sampson.
