Types of Reservations
The Language Center encourages instructors to reserve classrooms, equipment and media ahead of time to ensure availability and leave time for adjustments to the class schedule if necessary. The center is funded by CLA, and so priority is given to CLA instructors and students, as well as to colleges and programs for which an agreement is in place.
