Rooms available for testing, study use for spring

Reflective of the fall semester, vacant classrooms are available for students who seek space for small group study sessions or for synchronous online classes while on Charleston Southern’s campus. The classrooms may also be used for online testing. 

In order for students to have fair access as well as ensure COVID-safe practices, a classroom schedule is posted on each door to determine the length of time space may be available.

Due to the success of BUCSAFE protocols last semester, Academic Affairs increased the amount of in-person classes available to students this spring. As a result, classroom space for group or individual study remains limited. For a list of available classrooms, students may check BucMail for the latest campuswide announcement.
