WiCS Study Room (DC 3150)
Location: DC 3150, is located on the walkway between DC and MC. The room is for all WiCS students*
The WiCS Study room is reopening this February with a new system of access! The purpose of the room is to be a meeting place where WiCS students know they can meet and study with other WiCS students, making it easier for them to find like-minded peers and role models. As a secondary benefit, the room also serves as a space where WiCS students can take a short break from being in the minority.
Visitors to the WiCS Study Room are expected to adhere to the WiCS Code of Conduct
In order to get the access fob for the room, you need to fill out this form. The WiCS Event Coordinator will contact you once your key is ready to be picked up!

When do you need to book the room?
You do not need to book the WiCS study room to study in it!! You only need to book it for specific private group events.
The primary purpose of the room is to be a study room that is generally available to WiCS students on a drop-in basis, so bookings will be kept to a minimum. The room may be booked for official WiCS events. Other requests that will be considered include: WiCS study sessions for students in a particular course (e.g., midterm or exam study sessions), or requests for meetings/events run by WiCS students representing an intersectional underrepresented population.
Bookings will not be allowed during lunchtime (11:30-1:30).
Some examples of events which require you to book off the room are the following:
- Movie nights
- Large study group cramming sessions
- Class-specific group study sessions
- Gaming Nights (board games, video games etc.)
Any events like these which are specific group events require booking, individual study sessions do not require booking! That being said always check the calendar below to ensure that the room is free for you to study in.
