Free Mason Hall Classrooms via SOAS
**December 2024 Update**
The SOAS online reservation calendar is currently under maintenance. The link will be available again shortly. A reminder that rooms will not become available until the first day of classes.
Only available Fall and Winter semesters
There are a limited amount of classrooms available for free in Mason and/or Angell Hall (approximately 10). These rooms become available on the first day of classes on a first-come, first-served basis. Student Organizations are not entitled to free rooms.
To book a free Mason/Angell Hall classroom, an Authorized Signer must make the reservation via SOAS’s online reservation calendar located on our website. Rooms are always available 30 days in advance. For example, on September 1, you’ll be able to make reservations through October 1. On September 2, you’ll be able to make reservations through October 2. To maintain your reservation, your group must be in good standing with the University.
As of 10/01/2023, the total of your organization's reservations on a single day cannot exceed these limits:
Monday - Thursday: 4 hours
Friday: 5 hours
Saturday and Sunday: 12 hours
Your organization can have multiple reservations per day (and multiple rooms), but they cannot total over the above maximums. These limits are based on the number of hours available per day in a single room.
If your group is not in good standing with the University or you exceed the above maximums, your reservation(s) may be revoked. SOAS reserves the right to cancel any reservations.
By reserving this room as an Authorized Signer, you understand that you and your organization take full responsibility for assuring that the room and equipment will be left in the same condition as it was found. If you find the room to be in poor condition when you arrive, you will report it to the scheduling desk immediately, or your organization will be responsible for the cleanup and any necessary repairs.
