Group study rooms are requested through the Duke University scheduling system, 25Live.  Please review the policies on the Reserve a Space for Faculty or Information for Students page before booking a room.

Keep in mind that simply placing a request does not guarantee that you will be able to use the room.  Requests must be approved by the Trinity Scheduler’s Office.

If you are a non-Duke person interested in requesting Link space, please use the “Contact Us” link on The Link’s web site to get in touch with us.  All requests for group study rooms must follow Link policies.

To request a group study room:

4. Enter the date, times and expected number of attendees.
5. For “Search Within” select “Link Group Study Rooms (Courses Only).”  Then click on “Show Me What’s Available.”
6. Find the group study room that you want to use and then click “Use This Location.” This will open the Creating New Event page. Be aware there are several pages to click through for this next part.

14. The next page will ask about which resources you will need. Read “Room Information” (look at the index on the left side of this page) to see what equipment your chosen study room already comes with (ex. projectors). If you require other equipment, please include them in the provided space.
15. For the next page – “Additional Required Information” – provide the number of rooms requested, and a contact phone number. In “# of Rooms Requested,” type in “1.” In “Contact Phone Number,” please provide us with that information. In “Are you charging a fee?”, select No. In “Course Listing,” please type in again the name of the class you are studying for (ex. PSY 101). You may disregard “Fund Code.” Click Next.
16. The next page will display Contacts for the event. Your name should be in the Requestor box. Verify this is true, and click Next.
