General Policy
The general policy of the School of Information Studies (iSchool) is that teaching spaces in Hinds Hall are primarily for academic use by iSchool students, faculty, administrators, and staff.
Special academic, extracurricular, development and admissions events sponsored by the iSchool are the next priority. Space for such events is reserved for specific time periods. Once these needs have been met within a reasonable and specified time, reservations will be opened to the Syracuse campus community.
The spaces within Hinds Hall will not be made available for use by groups outside of Syracuse University without a university member as a sponsor. A sponsor must be a faculty or staff member of the university.
The exception to this policy is limited to the two Registrar classrooms: Hinds 018 and 021. Reservations for these spaces are made through the Registrar’s Office as are all official university courses/classes.
