Late Night Study Hours
About Late Night Study
Late Night Study is available to UCSB students, faculty, and staff with a campus ID. You need to use your Access Card (campus ID) at the Paseo West entrance card reader to gain access or to regain access to the building during Late Night Study hours. You also may be asked by Library or security personnel to present your campus ID to verify your status as a UCSB student, faculty, or staff during overnight hours. All non-UCSB affiliates must exit the Library when Late Night Study begins.
You must have the latest generation of UCSB Access ID Card to enter the building. The newer-generation cards were issued starting in 2012. To determine whether you have the newer Access ID Card, look on the back of the card (on the side with the horizontal black stripe). If you see the UCSB seal and a series of numbers along the bottom at the right, you have the latest generation (see samples below). Library users with older cards must upgrade to a newer one.
Only the study area on the 1st and 2nd floors is open during Late Night Study. The study areas is staffed by Library personnel. It includes access to library computers, Wi-Fi, printers, copy machines, scanners, vending machines, and reference collections in the open areas.
The Services Desk, including Interlibrary Loan, Course Reserves and access to items in the Technology and More collection, and access to collection areas above the 2nd floor are closed during Late Night Study hours. Building Operations staff are on site whenever the Library is open.
For Late Night Study hours on specific days, see the UCSB Library hours page.
NOTE: Late Night Study is offered for limited hours on holidays, during summer session, and during university recess periods.
