Graduate study carrels

There are 23 graduate study carrels available at the library. Carrels are equipped with lockers, power outlets and task lighting.

Carrels are shared between two students and remain available to other students when the assignees are absent. Since each carrel is shared, carrel assignees should coordinate their schedules.

Carrels are assigned annually by lottery to University of Ottawa graduate students who do not have office space and are in their thesis year. They are assigned for a period running from October 1st to September 30th of the following year, though applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Reserve a study carrel online
