Hi everyone,
As we close out the semester, I am writing to tell you about two new options to study on campus.
It became more apparent than ever during the fall semester that students are experiencing difficulties securing spots to work in between classes. My team put a call-out for creative ways to utilize current spaces on campus, and we received many solid ideas that have led to the following short-term solutions.
Rector study commons in the JDUC
All students are welcome to drop by the Polson room for quiet study. You'll find outlets to charge, whiteboards (bring your own dry-erase markers), and there will be coffee + cookies on the first day. Student Life Centre staff will be available at their desk on the ground level for any questions and to provide free charger rentals (student card required).
Wednesday, April 1 - Friday, April 3
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Classrooms during exam period
Many classrooms across campus can be used by students when they鈥檙e not in use for teaching or other events during the exam period.
These spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the day. Mackintosh-Corry Hall is a great place to start, with a number of classrooms often available. Use the Queen's Teaching and Learning website for room locations.
Please help keep these shared spaces welcoming for everyone by:
- Respecting other space users and vacating the space as needed for pre-arranged bookings
- Keeping noise to an appropriate level
-
Leaving the space (including whiteboards) clean and ready for the next users
Best of luck on all final exams, presentations, and projects. For those of you graduating, I look forward to seeing you on stage at spring convocation.
