To reserve and use these rooms you must be registered with the Moses Center for Student Accessibility and receive access to the adaptive computing rooms as part of your accommodation package.

Reserving the rooms

Reservations are required to use the rooms and if provided the accommodation, your student ID can be used to swipe into the rooms.  At the beginning of each semester, and then every Monday during the semester, the access list is updated. You will receive an email from NYU Libraries with further information about how and where to make the room reservations.
