Every Library user is required to scan the QR twice through the Take a Spot app; once for checking in at your arrival, and the second time for checking out once you have finished using the spot.

Once you arrive at your study space, it is important to scan the QR code on the table within the first 30 minutes of your reserved time slot. Should you arrive later or forget to scan the QR code, your booking would automatically be cancelled and your spot might be reallocated to another user.

If you find someone else in the spot you booked and they claim to have booked it too, it is because you didn’t scan the QR code within the first 30 minutes. Therefore, you will have to make a new booking for a different study space.

Let’s say your reservation is from 09:00 to 11:00 and you decide to leave at 10:00. There is still an hour left for that slot to be used by someone else, which is why you must scan the code a second time. This way, that seat will be available for someone else during the hour left in that slot.

Remember: you are required to scan the code before you leave your study space.

The QR must only be scanned twice: the first time when arriving to your spot, and the second time when leaving. If you accidentally scan it again right after the first time, the app understands you checked in and out, so it will cancel your booking and your spot will become available once again. In that case, you will have to rebook that spot, or book another one.

You can have a total of 6 active bookings up to 3 days in advance. You can either have 6 bookings back-to-back on the same day, or spread them out as you need within three days.
