Office Hour Room Scheduling (FC 010 and CS 003)

The Computer Science Department designates rooms Friend Center 010 (FC 010) and Computer Science 003 (CS 003) for office hours. Graduate student Assistants in Instruction (AI) and Undergraduate Course Assistants (UCAs) of COS courses may book these rooms for office hours. 

  • Graduate student Assistants in Instruction (AI) have priority when booking space. 
  • COS courses have priority. Cross-listed courses must work with the home department to locate office hour space. (For example, an ECE/COS cross-listed course must work with ECE to find office hour space).

  1. Access the University’s EMS room scheduling system
  2. Click on “My Home”, sign in, and “Book Now” under “Campus Space Request”
  3. Enter the date & time of your booking. You can schedule recurring events.
