Q: What are the guidelines in using the Learning Commons (LC)?

USE OF LEARNING COMMONS (LC) GUIDELINES

The Center for Learning Resources provides the Learning Commons to facilitate group activities, workshops, seminars, and collaborations within the Benildean community.

1. All eligible college stakeholders may submit a request to use the Learning Commons.

1. A formal request for LC reservation must be submitted to the Director of the Center for Learning Resources via the CLR Official email address at clr@benilde.edu.ph, along with pertinent details such as the activity's title, schedule, and number of participants; and name of adviser and lead organizer of the event along with their email addresses.
2. Requests must be made at least one (1) week before the event;
