Yale Classrooms

Hosting an event in Yale Classrooms

Classrooms (FAS only*)

Classroom buildings are under the control of the Office of the Registrar (Faculty of Arts & Sciences). To request classrooms, student organizations must use Yale Connect. For instructions on how to request a room using a Yale Connect event request, please visit the Reserving Classrooms Using Yale Connect guide on our website.

Per the Registrar’s Office, it is important to note:

• The earliest that classrooms may be requested during the fall semester is the Friday before classes start.
• During add/drop period, classrooms may not be reserved more than a day in advance (the first three weeks of every semester).  
• Classroom reservation requests for after add/drop period may also not be approved until after add/drop period has ended. As a result, classroom reservation requests for future semesters will not be confirmed until after add/drop period for that semester.
• Repeating classroom reservation requests should not extend beyond the current semester (i.e., a repeating event request for a classroom in both fall and spring semesters will not be approved).
• Classrooms may not be reserved during finals period, as the Registrar’s Office utilizes these spaces for final exams. If you need to use a space during these times, we strongly recommend seeking non-classroom spaces that are not controlled by the Registrar’s Office. Visit the Yale academic calendar for the dates of these periods each semester. 

Classrooms may be used for rehearsals and auditions by registered undergraduate student groups and groups affiliated with Undergraduate Production, but there are limitations on when and where these events can take place.

• Rehearsals and auditions that DO NOT use music or otherwise include loud noise may use classrooms at any time, subject to availability.
• Rehearsals and auditions that DO use music or otherwise include loud noise may use classrooms at any time on weekends, after 1:30pm on Fridays, and after 8:00pm Monday-Thursday, subject to availability.
• PH 207 is an exception to the above policy and may be used Monday-Thursday starting at 5:00pm, subject to availability. In all cases, students using classrooms for rehearsals and auditions are asked to be respectful of other events taking place in surrounding classrooms or within the building and must abide by all other policies related to classroom and building use.
• If any group is repeatedly disruptive to others, the privilege of using classrooms may be revoked at the discretion of the University Registrar’s Office and/or Undergraduate Production.

Student organizations should also note there is a custodial charge for classroom reservations beginning at 12 PM on Friday through Sunday night for events including conferences, seminars, concerts, meetings, etc. with outside (non-Yale) attendees.
