LRC Access & Study Room Reservations

We’re pleased to announce that 24/7 access extends to the entire law library. All USD law and grad students, faculty, and staff will be able to access the LRC at any time with a valid campus ID card. Contact Campus Card for any issues with your campus ID card at UC 127 or (619) 260-5999. The Circulation Desk closes at 6 pm Saturday - Thursday and 5 pm Friday, so please ensure that your SALTO access is active before that time when you plan to stay late. This should only take a few minutes and will save you time and prevent stress later! To see our full list of hours for both Circulation and Reference, click here.  The LRC's public building hours are the same as the Circulation Desk hours except during law school finals. 

Please help us maintain a safe and secure environment by not propping open doors. Security cameras have been installed throughout the building for your safety and the safety of the entire USD community. Call Public Safety at (619) 260-2222 if you see any suspicious activity or have any safety concerns.

Please note: Study rooms are self-serve after the Circulation Desk closes.
