Do I need a pass to come to the LRC? Even during lunch?
Yes. Students need a pass any time they visit the LRC without a teacher. When teachers send a group of students to the LRC, they are asked to write a pass for each student if the students will be returning at different times. The students must turn their passes in to the circulation desk and sign in the pass log. This provides verification that the student did arrive and where in the facility he or she went. It also allows the LRC staff to have a record of which students are in the room in case of an emergency. When students are ready to leave the LRC to return to class, they must sign out, their pass will be signed, and their time of departure noted.
