Need to book a room at GIFT City? Here’s what you need to know
If you’re working on a group assignment, meeting with a faculty member, or collaborating on a university project, Deakin’s GIFT City campus offers dedicated meeting rooms to help you stay productive. But before you book a space, make sure you’re across the updated usage guidelines.
Meeting Room Usage Guidelines
To keep things running smoothly for everyone on campus, students must follow these rules when booking a room:
-
Get approval at least one hour in advance from Student Central.
-
Each booking is capped at 60 minutes.
-
You’ll need at least three students to be eligible.
-
Rooms are for academic or official use only – not personal or social meetups.
How do I book a room?
Depending on your needs, there are a few different ways to secure a space:
Meeting with Faculty, Industry or University Staff
Submit an enquiry to Student Central if you’re setting up a meeting with a staff member, academic or industry professional.
Group Projects or Academic Collaboration
Drop by Student Central and speak with a Student Adviser. Based on purpose and availability, the room may be booked.
Where can I go for casual study or a chat?
For informal meetups, study sessions, or casual chats, you’re encouraged to use the following spaces instead:
-
Library
-
Informal Learning Areas
-
Labs
-
Cafeteria
What happens if I go over time?
If you exceed the 60-minute limit without prior approval, you may be asked to leave the room – so please plan ahead and stick to your booking time.
Remember – without official approval from Student Central, you are not permitted to use the meeting rooms.
Plan ahead, book smart and make the most of your time on campus. Happy studying!
