Sensory Room guidelines
- We know feeling overwhelmed isn’t something you plan for, so the room can be accessed on demand rather than booking a specific time.
- Use the room for as long as you need to self-regulate.
- If you want a quiet place to study, check out the Library's places to study.
- Please enjoy your food outside the room to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone.
- The rooms are not lockable for your safety.
- Security or staff may check on the room while it is in use.
- Feel free to move furniture or other items in the room to suit your needs.
