Please read these policies and choose the option that you have read them below.
Introduction
Given that many Student Computing Services
computer labs also function as computer classrooms, this policy has
been created in order to ensure their maximum availability for
student use.
The term "classroom" as used within
this document denotes a Student Computing Services computer classroom.
Please note that this document contains
policies only for the reservation of Information Technology Student Computing Services'
classrooms, and does not imply or provide guidelines for other
departmentally administered classroom computing facilities.
Reservation Policy
Faculty members may reserve classrooms for
the following purposes:
- To teach courses appearing in the "UK
Schedule of Classes."
- To hold activities intended for the
benefit of University of Kentucky student groups and organizations
(for example, Library instruction performed by University of Kentucky
librarians).
- Sessions held in the classrooms may not charge for
attendance.
Student Computing Services will not accept
reservations for activities that do not meet these requirements.
Contention over the scheduling or use of classrooms will be mediated
by the Vice President for Information Technology.
Non-Student related reservations will only be taken for dates during non-academic times.
Groups wishing to reserve a classroom for paid seminars or sessions will need the prior approval of the Vice President of Info. Tech.
May only reserve during non academic times and be charged a reservation fee.
Scheduling Classrooms
Faculty members requesting the use of classrooms must complete the "Student Computing Services
Computer Classroom Reservation Request." This form must be received by Student Computing Services
no later than one week before the date and time requested.
Whenever a scheduling conflict occurs, the
request of the faculty member who was the first to make their
reservation will be honored. Every effort will be made to schedule
the second faculty member in a classroom with equivalent hardware
and software.
Faculty members will be contacted regarding
the status of their request.
Due to budgetary limitations, classrooms
cannot be scheduled outside of their normal operating hours.
If the request is honored, the faculty member
agrees to abide by the following conditions. If these conditions
are not met, the faculty member may forfeit the use of the requested
classroom.
- The faculty member accepts responsibility
for ensuring that they and their students have link blue accounts.
Users who do not have Link Blue accounts will be unable to use the
hardware and software installed in the classrooms.
- Faculty members reserve the right to
determine whether persons not associated with their group will
be allowed to remain in the classroom during the time of the instruction.
- Classrooms not occupied twenty minutes
into the scheduled time must be made available for general student use.
- The faculty member must relinquish the
classroom at the designated time.
- Under no circumstances is any equipment
to be removed from classrooms.
Software Installation and Support
Any requests for special software installations will need to be made to the
Manager of Student Computing Services, and will be honored in accordance with
the "Student Computing Services Software Installation and Support Policy,"
available here.
Food and Drink Policy
Food and drinks are expressly prohibited in all SCS computer labs and classrooms.
As the faculty or staff member reserving the classroom,
we ask that you assist us in enforcing this policy.

If this request is honored, I agree to abide by the conditions as outlined in the
"Student Computing Services Computer Classroom Reservation Policy" as outlined above.
