class=\"post-title\">The learning community (LC) rooms are learning and study spaces specifically for KSOM\u2019s medical students. Lockers are assigned to students in the preclerkship phase and are available for students in the clerkship or post clerkship phases by request through the Office of Student Affairs (first come, first served).<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-title\">The LCs are used by the Curriculum Office and Office of Student Affairs for curricular activities (e.g., research, lab sessions, ICM sessions, intersessions, orientations). Because the learning communities are intended primarily for instructional and study purposes, <em>they are not available to be reserved by any group or event at any time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The student lounges are primarily intended for student recreation and (in the case of the MCA 146 quiet lounge) study, although they may be reserved from time for time for meetings of Student Affairs-sanctioned student groups. \u00a0For information about reserving any of KSOM\u2019s learning spaces, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/md-student-portal\/resources\/room-reservations\/\">Events, Meetings, and Room Reservations<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No materials may be attached to the LC lockers, lounge or LC ceilings, lighting fixtures, or walls.<\/li>\n<li>Food and drink refuse must be discarded in the trash and\/or recycling receptacles. Spilled food or drink should be cleaned immediately. \u00a0No open food or food containers will be allowed, particularly overnight.<\/li>\n<li>Students are responsible for cleaning their LCs, lounges, microwaves, and refrigerators. \u00a0For significant spills or messes, please contact Maria Saavedra in the Office of Student Affairs KAM 100 or email <a href=\"mailto:maria.saavedra@med.usc.edu\">maria.saavedra@med.usc.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>To reduce the risk of projectile damage during earthquakes, do not place anything above or on top of the lounge refrigerators.<\/li>\n<li>Do not move anything \u2014 including chairs, tables, computers, monitors, projectors, and models \u2014 from the learning communities or lounges into the hallways, or move items between rooms unless directed by a staff or faculty member.\n<ul>\n<li>The Los Angeles Fire Marshall determined that, for the safety of the occupants of our classroom buildings during emergencies, the hallways of those buildings must remain completely free of <i>all<\/i> obstacles at all times. However, temporary tables are allowed for limited time events provided you check with the Office of Student Affairs first and the tables are taken down immediately after use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Do not disconnect the computers or displays in any of the LCs or the computer lab.<\/li>\n<li>Students may not bring furniture or appliances into the LCs or lounges.<\/li>\n<li>If you are going to leave valuables \u2014 like your wallet, phone, or computer \u2014 in your LC you need to lock those items in your locker.\u00a0 Theft is a crime of opportunity that can be reduced through awareness and prevention. Whether you\u2019re at school or at home, taking a few precautions will lower your risk of becoming a victim.<\/li>\n<li>Pets are not allowed, with the exception of service animals.
