Due to student demand, we have changed the policy in the Conference Room Reservation system to allow students to cancel/delete their own reservations.  However, this policy will be changed back during finals so that room cancellations must be made by stopping by or calling the circulation desk ((310)825-3960).  Because these rooms are very heavily used during the examination and reading period, we want to make sure that the most number of students will have access to them and that reservations are more likely to be kept once made.
