There are bookable accessible study rooms and spaces available for students with a Student Support Information Sheet (SSIS). These can be booked online via the Book a Study Space webpage, however students are welcome to book via whichever method is most convenient to them.
To book a space or room follow the simple steps online (or for more information, see How do I book a study space or room?). Ensure you select either Harold Cohen Library - SSIS Accessible Study Spaces or Sydney Jones Library - SSIS Accessible Study Spaces option, which can only be booked by students with an SSIS.
Support Workers who wish to book study spaces on behalf of their students are welcome to by filling in our non-medical helpers - room booking request form.
Accessible Study Room Guidelines
- Bookings can be made up to 48 hours in advance
- Due to high demand for spaces, booking times default to 4 hours per day.
- If you need to extend your booking beyond 4 hours or if you need further assistance, please contact the Library using one of the contact options on this page or talk to us in person at the Help Desk.
- Spaces can be used on a drop in basis, but priority is given to students who have placed a booking.
- Only students with a Student Support Information Sheet (SSIS) can make a booking for an accessible room or space.
- Some rooms are swipe card access and students will have automatic access via their University ID card. If you have any issues with accessing a room please speak to a member of staff.
- The shared accessible spaces are social study areas, therefore please be aware that there may be low volume talking around you.
- Students may bring a support worker into the study room but the Support Worker will need to register for a Library Visitor card on their first visit. This is free of charge.
