The 87 carrels that we have traditionally allowed Div 3 students to claim for either a semester or a year are not quite enough to meet student need. Since we cannot easily create more carrels, we are inviting those students who want a carrel to apply for one by using an online form. The library will then assign carrels for the semester based on a set of criteria for eligibility and priority.<\/p>\n<p>To get a sense of how we&#8217;re prioritizing the applications, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hampshire.edu\/library\/carrel-request-process\">read about the carrel request process here<\/a>. If we have more eligible and prioritized applicants than we have available carrels, we will use a lottery system to determine who gets a carrel from the pool of eligible and prioritized applicants. We will notify carrel applicants of the status of their request as soon as possible after that closing date.<\/p>\n<p>We know some of you will not get the carrel you want \u2013 or even get a carrel at all. Because of that, we are setting aside 10 carrels as \u201cun-assigned\u201d that any student can use day to day. We hope that having a number of first-come, first-serve carrels will also make the carrel access be more equitable for students.
