Library Study Rooms and Cubicles in the Summer
In July and August, bookings by RDP students will be prioritized over other bookings. If the room is vacant, it may be used on a first-come, first-served basis, but may not be booked by non-RDP students.
From September through June, study rooms are for use by Red Deer Polytechnic students only.
