How To Book & Access A Music Practice Room
Step 1: Open & Log-in To Resource Booker
Open Resource Booker Here
If you get the message 'Sorry no Resources are available for you to book' you are either not yet set up to request rooms online or you are not eligible to request rooms.
Before you log in the welcome page of Resource Booker will show what users can currently request and will indicate when the system is closed.
Step 2: Check Room Availability & Make a Request
Make your request and you’ll receive an automated email when the request has been made.
It is vital that you put your name in the booking title – follow the format “Music Practice Room – your full name” this helps you identify your booking on the room door reports at the entrance to the room and so the reception team can easily spot your name on the list if you are practicing late at night or at weekends.
You can only book a single one-hour slot on any given day, and only on dates up to 14 days in advance. Any requests which do not fit these rules will be not be accepted.
Please allow the Room Bookings Team notice to receive and process your request: this will take at least one working day so do not make requests overnight for the following day, and at weekends, any requests made will not be confirmed until the next working day. The Room Booking Team's office hours for checking requests are 10:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday, and requests will only be processed during these hours.
Step 3: Await A Response From The Room Booking Team
The Room Bookings Team will then check the request and either confirm the booking or reject it (the rejection email will contain an explanation for the cancellation).
This will usually be within one working day and you will receive a confirmation email when you have the room booked.
Step 4: Gaining Access And Using A Booked MPR
Both of the Music Practice Rooms can only be accessed by the use of your LSE ID Card. Please ensure you take it with you and tap it on the card reader by the door. If you do not have your card you cannot get access. When you finish your booking, please ensure the door is shut and has locked due to the expensive instruments
