To submit a request or book a meeting space, you must have a CONNECT email account.
Typically, meeting rooms will automatically accept the request if the room is available during the specified time. Some rooms may require approval by a booking delegate who will accept or decline the request. If you are unsure of who the booking delegate is, contact the department/faculty administrator.
