FAQ
Why do I get kicked out Mondays at 4?
In order to provide the best help we can we hold employee training meetings every Monday to train our TAs on topics they might except to see coming up that week which is why the lab is not just “closed” but unavailable to use as study space.
What if I don’t have a phone to scan the QR codes?
You can also access the queue by going to lab.byu.edu on a laptop or on the computer located by the north entrance to the lab which is available for student use.
