Booking policy

The purpose of the Teaching Grid is to facilitate the development of teaching and co-creation at the University, and as such we ask that sessions meet the following criteria:

Academics

Academics can book for sessions that will involve students as learners or partners and are either:

• First time use of the spaces
• Developmental to their teaching
• Using equipment or resources not available elsewhere in the University
• In less than a week’s time and are teaching and learning related

Teaching partners

• Academic Development Centre
• Academic Technology Team
• IATL
• Warwick International Higher Education Academy

Our teaching partners can book the space for sessions that are teaching and learning related, within agreed limits.

Other university staff

During terms 1 and 2

Non-academic members of the University can book the space for sessions that are teaching and learning related workshops and training events happening within the next 5 working days.

During term 3 & vacations

Non-academic members of the University can book the space for teaching and learning related workshops and training events. Bookings cannot be made more than one term in advance, i.e.:

• Christmas vacation: bookings taken from start of summer vacation
• Easter vacation: bookings taken from start of Christmas vacation
• Term 3: bookings taken from start of term 2
• Summer vacation: bookings taken from start of Easter vacation

Please remember: making a booking request does not guarantee you a booking until you have had confirmation from us.
