Frequently asked questions on Practice Rooms:
When can I make my reservation?
You may email [email protected] anytime. (The inbox is monitored Monday – Friday from 9am – 7pm & on Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 7pm. Approvals will be sent via email.
What are the building hours?
Bito, Blum and the Practice room building are open from 7:00 am – 11:00 pm.
How quickly can I make a reservation?
If you need a spur-of-the-moment reservation, come to the lobby in Bito to schedule a room with the Bito lobby monitor at the desk during scheduling hours.
For how many hours may I request a room reservation?
Students may reserve up to two-hours in a room. Each time you book, you may request up to 2 two-hour blocks of time. If you need additional space, you will need to send this request at a later time.
Can I reserve a room for my friend or for my teacher?
Students and faculty members must make their reservations personally. Reservations will not be accepted on behalf of another student or faculty member.
Do I have to make a reservation to use a room?
It is highly recommended that you make a reservation. If you use a room without a reservation, the person with a reservation supersedes the person without the reservation.
What happens if I am late?
Students must occupy their reserved room in person within the first 10 minutes or their reservation is forfeited. The “late rule” does not apply to faculty members using Teaching studios. Students and faculty are encouraged to release unneeded rooms so that others may utilize the rooms.
What happens if I leave my room?
Students may not hold a room for more than 10 minutes by leaving their belongings in it (i.e., pianists may not hold a room all day Saturday by leaving their music on the piano). If a student needs to leave their practice room for any reason they must return within 10 minutes. If someone finds a room that is occupied only by another’s belongings, they must give the owner 10 minutes to return. If the owner does not return after 10 minutes, the owner forfeits the room and may collect their belongings upon return.
