Extending Appointments
If you find that you would like more than your allotted time, please find or email a technician before your time is up, and if there is no one scheduled right after you, we can extend your appointment as needed, on a case-by-case basis.  However, please do not assume we will always be able to accommodate your request.  You may not stay at your station past your appointment time slot unless you have received approval from a technician or photo lab monitor.

Canceling Appointments
If you need to cancel an appointment for any reason, please just let us know as soon as possible, so that the time may be opened up to other students. You can cancel by either sending us an email at techoffice@pratt.edu, or simply clicking “Click here to cancel this booking”, found at the bottom of your YouCanBookMe confirmation email.

Friends/Non-lab User Policy
The Photography labs are communal studio environments. Please be mindful of others' space and time as they focus on completing their coursework. While friends and non-lab users may visit these spaces briefly, they can not use any equipment in the facilities.
If a lab is very dense and busy and several non-lab users are present, a technician may ask them to leave the space.

Food & Drink Policy
No food or drink is allowed at any time in any Photography Department lab. Only water in a closed container is permitted in the lab. Students can use the common spaces in the F hallway for consuming any food.
