The Computer Science Department Reservation System

If you are a Computer Science user you are able to reserve a conference room, laptop, or portable projector using your windows/citrix account. You do not need to log in to view the schedule of the above resources.  If you are not a Computer  Science user please email rsvp@cs.umd.edu with your request.

Since the system uses secure web pages you need to tell your browser to trust the Computer Science Department's ssl certificate. Please go to www.cs.umd.edu/faq/csdcert.html for more info. You only need to do this once.

When you are ready to reserve a resource go to https://reservations.cs.umd.edu.

PLEASE NOTE: There may be times when the CS Department may need to change your reservation to another room. This would most likely happen when attendance would be more accommodated by switching room assignments.

You will be taken to the AV Williams Conference Rooms calendar.  The number in parentheses () is how many chairs are in each conference room. To switch to the Laptop or Portable Projectors calendar click on Laptops or Portable Projectors underneath the Areas heading.

To book a room simply go to the date that you would like to reserve by using the GOTO button on the top of the page, the grid calendar on the top/right of the page, or the day/week/month options on the bottom of the page.

If the block of time is free, click on the + sign to get to the Add Entry screen. You will need to supply your CS windows/citrix username and password to get to this screen.
