When Rooms Can Be Booked

Room Booking Schedule 2025/6

All rooms which are bookable online are now available to be booked for the 2025/6 academic year, to the 30th August 2026.

Room Booking Schedule 2026/7

To support the timetable and the prioritisation of a consistent teaching pattern, room bookings are only possible after certain dates. These dates are usually structured around key activities such as scheduling or the publication of each stage of the timetable.

There will, therefore, be restrictions on making bookings via CMISGo, and the Room Booking Officer will also have restrictions on when they may process requests.

These restrictions will depend on the type of space being booked, the time of year and the date of the required booking. Please see below for full details of what may be booked and when.

Please note that CMISGo may only be used to book rooms for working days, between 09:00 and 18:00. This, therefore, excludes evenings, weekends, bank holidays and University closure days, requests for which must always be processed by the Room Booking Officer.

The Room Booking Officer will only be able to make bookings that are complex enough that they would not usually be completed online. Therefore, if you have a simple booking, you will need to wait for online bookings to be enabled, and such requests will not be processed by the Room Booking Officer.
