General Info

The Animal Biosciences webpage features a list of bookable items [1] accessible via the Department menu at the bottom of the page. It lists and describes all the items you may book, but the process of booking certain items will vary depending on the item in question. All items can be booked in person through our Graduate Secretary in the Main Office. However, you can also book items online to speed up the process.

Booking an Item Online

Note 1: rooms cannot be booked online; it can only be done in-person through the Graduate Secretary in the Main Office.

Note 2: new users who wish to book the department cars are required to register themselves into the system by seeing either Diana Rau or Karina McKenzie in the Main Office. New users are also required to attend a 30-minute Vehicle Training/Orientation seminar that takes place every semester. Emails regarding the event will be sent to new students through the listserv.
