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 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.
The study area is staffed by Library personnel. It includes access to library computers, Wi-Fi, printers, bill changers, copy machines, scanners, vending machines, and reference collections in the open areas.
The Services Desk, Mountain Information Desk, and access to collection areas are closed during overnight 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.
