There are eight reservable group study rooms in Shields Library. Rooms may be reserved by currently registered UC Davis students.
- Group study rooms are for two or more students.
- Available rooms can be reserved on demand, and up to seven days in advance.
- Students may make one reservation a day for a maximum of two hours, and up to four hours a week.
- Group study rooms may not be used by instructors, or for office hours or standing meetings.
