• A small number of single occupancy study spaces are available for those who have an online class immediately preceding or following an on-campus class.  These spaces need to be booked in advance and are to be used where you require to interact (e.g. speak) as part of the class. Details of how to book are given below.

Please read these Terms and Conditions before booking a study space.  By booking a room at the University you agree to comply with the following terms and may risk removal of your room booking rights, and potential disciplinary action, by not doing so.

Drop in spaces are available in our libraries, and also computing classrooms (when teaching is not taking place) - see Where do I find a PC? below.

There are a small number of rooms available on both the Old Aberdeen and Foresterhill campuses which are available for those who have an online class immediately preceding or following an on-campus class.

These spaces need to be booked in advance and are to be used where you require to interact (e.g. speak) as part of the class.

These rooms are single occupancy and must be only used by the person making the booking.

There is a PC in the classroom, which can be used and a power point available for laptop users.

The spaces available at the Suttie Centre can be booked via the Suttie Centre website.

The other bookable spaces for single occupancy study can be booked by contacting roombookings@abdn.ac.uk Please note these need to be booked at least 48 hours in advance. You will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours (Monday - Friday).

You are advised to take and save a screen shot or copy of your confirmation email when using a bookable space. You must display this, if asked by a member of staff.

These spaces must not be used unless booked.

Bookable spaces will be available to book up to 2 hours at a time.

Drop in spaces do not have any time restrictions but all personal belongings should be removed from a drop in study space when not in use or attending an on campus class.
