Can a student taking all their classes on the Cedar Rapids campus or the Iowa City campus use the computers in the Tippie-Mansfield Center?

If my arrangements for child care fail for a day that I have class, can I bring my child for just that one class?
No, babies and/or adolescent children can not be brought to class at the center. You will be asked to leave class until you can attend alone. "One time only" sets a precedent for others to find excuses to bring their children and the educational atmosphere required in college is destroyed.

Is there anyhere that I can study at the center since my house seems to be filled with distractions?
Yes, there are study tables in the lobby area of the center as well as individual classrooms that may be accessed whenever not in use. Many students do many hours of studying in the Center each week.
