What this app is for

The CS Practice Room app helps you:

• Book practices through the booking form (if you have been given access for a specific department like Vespers or Battle of the Bands).
• View the shared practice-room calendar, including practices, jam blocks, and closures.
• Reserve jam time on drums or keyboard by selecting a time range on the calendar (when signed in).
• Message the team through in-app support threads instead of texting people individually. </aside>

Signing in and your account card

The account card always shows either:

• Signed out — with a Sign in with Google button, or
• Signed in — your status and a Sign out button.

When signed in, you may also see:

• Pencil Icon — Edit your WWU email if it needs correcting (opens a small form).
• Refresh Button — Refresh your profile so the app pulls the latest info from our system. You can only use this about once every 30 seconds, if you tap too often, a short countdown appears.

The card’s color shows your access to the given page: GREEN = Full Access YELLOW = Partial Access RED = No Access

Layout: phone vs computer

• On a narrow screen (typical phone), the header stacks: menu pills first, then the title CS Practice Room, then the sign-in card.

• On a wide screen (tablet landscape or desktop), the same pieces appear in one row: title on the left, Home / Booking / Calendar / Support in the center, and the account card on the right.

Calendar Page

The all-new way to interact with the CS Practice Room’s Calendar…

Viewing Events (no login required)

Anyone can browse the calendar: practices, jam reservations, blocked times, and closures appear together. You do not need to sign in to look.

Tap or click an existing event to see its title, time, and details. If it is your reservation, you are will be able to cancel it. After an event’s time has passed, cancel is no longer available.

Scheduling a Jam Session

A jam session is a 1-2 person practice using the drum set and/or piano in the practice room. It is not intended for large practices. Those using the room for jam sessions must make sure that no sound equipment is messed with and that they are the only ones in the room.

If jam sessions are abused, we will remove your access.

To reserve a jam session:

1. Drag across the time range you want on the calendar (press, drag, release).
2. A reservation window opens. You may see a short hold countdown (about 30 seconds) while the slot is temporarily reserved for you—complete the form before time runs out.
3. Enter your first name and choose an instrument (for example Drums), then confirm.

If you see a message that someone else is holding the slot, try again or pick a different time.

Blocked time and “Practice Room Closed”

If time is blocked, you cannot book over it. Also, time may be marked as Practice Room Closed — that is normal when jams are not allowed past a certain time unless staff opens an exception.
