Classroom Reservations

The Office of the University Registrar ensures that courses have been scheduled in university classrooms before allowing the scheduling of ad-hoc reservations within the start and end date for the term. The Academic Scheduling Office schedules classrooms for course-related events by academic departments. Requests must be associated with a specific course and must be submitted by the instructor of record for the course or the department scheduling coordinator. A maximum of six reservations per section may be requested. For any questions, please email adhoc@gmu.edu.

For ad-hoc reservations requested before the last day to add for a semester, university classrooms may be scheduled on Sundays only. At the Arlington campus, university classrooms may also be scheduled Monday through Friday before 4:30pm.  Please refer to the Classroom Scheduling Policies for more details.

After the last day to add until the last day of classes for a semester, ad-hoc reservations can be scheduled in university classrooms based on availability.

PLEASE NOTE: Reading days provide students with additional study time for final examinations. Faculty may schedule optional study sessions on Reading Days, but regular classes or exams may not be held.
