FAQ

1) Which OSU are you asking about?

It could be Ohio State, Oregon State, or Oklahoma State. Tell me which one and the campus so I can give precise steps.

2) Can I book without a university login?

Most OSU libraries require current student/faculty/staff login. Guests usually can’t reserve but may use open spaces.

3) How far in advance can I reserve?

Varies by campus—commonly 3–14 days. If you tell me your OSU, I’ll check the exact window.

4) What’s the max reservation length?

Often 2–4 hours per day. Some campuses allow back-to-back bookings only if slots are free shortly before your time.

5) Do I need multiple people for a group room?

Typically yes; some systems enforce minimum group size. Individual study rooms may have separate rules.

6) What if all rooms are booked?

Try a different library on the same campus, off-peak hours, or split shorter sessions. Walk-up options may open after no-shows.

7) How do I cancel or modify?

Use the confirmation email or your reservations dashboard. Cancelling early helps avoid penalties and frees space for others.

8) Are there accessible or quiet rooms?

Most libraries offer quiet zones and ADA-accessible rooms or floors. Ask the service desk for the most suitable options.
