Extended study period for Exams; hours of operation Easter Monday

Law students, please take note of the following extended hours for the exam period:

  • As of Monday March 23, all law library group and individual study rooms were removed from the libraries-wide booking system, to allow all study rooms to be booked by law students only during the extended study period for exams. (As you may remember, during the regular term, some group study rooms can be booked online by students who are not in Law.) This will be in effect until Monday April 20.
  • As in previous years, our extended hours of operation will begin the last day of classes, Thursday April 2 and they will continue until the end of the exam period. Intersession hours will begin Wednesday April 22.
  • This year, unlike previous years, we will also be open on the statutory holiday, Easter Monday (April 6) from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. To open that day was essential to us, as exams begin the next day. This earlier opening time allows for a longer overall period of study time for students, when combined with McPherson library hours which are 10:00 am to 6 pm. We will be closed Good Friday, April 3. (McPherson Library is open 10 am to 6 pm Good Friday.)

Law Library Study Room Bookings

As we enter the last weeks of term, we wish students all the best for exams, papers, and assignments. We hope to offer law students the support and study environment that is needed at this time, and alert all library users to the following update:

  • For the period of March 23 through end of day, Sunday April 19, group study room access in the law library is limited to law students. Rooms may be booked at the front desk of the law library.

We trust all law library users will respect the increased need for quiet study at this time. Many thanks and happy studying.
