Carrel Etiquette

 

POLICY

All law students who wish to have an assigned carrel must have an enrolled law student carrel partner, both of whom confirm the arrangement with the library. 

Carrel assignments will be by lottery and are valid until May 31 of the following year unless relinquished or revoked for failure to comply with the terms of the permit. 
 
 

LOTTERY PROCEDURE

        1.  Application:  Beginning Friday, August 19, 2011, students may designate on the carrel email form provided on the library homepage the name of their law student carrel partner and their first 4 carrel preferences.  Consult the carrel floor plan.  Partners must be designated. If you do not specify a partner, a partner and a carrel will be assigned to you at the completion of the lottery drawing on Friday.  See Hints below

        2.   Accommodating Disabilities:  Special requests will be addressed for specific disabilities requiring accommodation on a case-by-case basis.  Submit requests to the Library Director no later than 5:00 p.m. Monday, August 22, 2011. 

        3.  Drawing: 

             a.  Completed lottery forms will be emailed to lottery administrator. (Note: If a 3L chooses to share with a 2L or 1L, both names will go in the 3L lottery drawing. Likewise, if a 2L chooses to share with a 1L, both names go in the 2L drawing.) 

             b. Lottery forms will be drawn according to the schedule below.  If none of the indicated choices are available, a carrel will be assigned as close as possible to the choices. 

                     *  3L lottery drawing begins Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m.  After that time, any subsequent 3L requests will be placed in the 2L lottery drawing. 

                     *  2L lottery drawing begins Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m.  After that time, any subsequent 2L or 3L requests will be placed in the 1L lottery drawing. 

                     *  1L lottery drawing begins Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m.

                     *  On Friday, August 26, 2011 any remaining 1L students will be assigned a carrel to share. 2L's and 3L's are responsible for obtaining a carrel through the lottery; none will be randomly assigned.

             c.  Carrel availability will be posted on this website as the lottery drawings progress. 

             d.  Carrel permits must be picked up at the Circulation Desk and must be posted on the assigned carrel. 

       4. Hints:

                     *  2L students - don't put your name in the drawing until after 3:00 on Tuesday, August 23. Then check the lottery availability page to make sure the carrel you want is still available. That way you don't waste your selection.

                     *  1L students - Don't decide not to apply for a carrel - you will want one eventually. You will want somewhere to spread out your books, use your laptop, etc. It is highly suggested you wait until after 3:00 on Wednesday, August 24 to complete your lottery form and check the availability page first. That way you don't waste your selection on a spot already taken.
