There are four different types of carrels found in the duPont library. 

Open Carrels - These are found throughout the library. These do not have shelves, are not numbered, and are open for everyone to use.

Senior Research Carrels - On the third floor there are a limited amount of carrels set aside for Sewanee seniors who request the study space to work on research projects. These are assigned by a lottery system at the beginning of each school year. 

School of Theology Carrels - On the third floor there are a limited amount of carrels set aside for School of Theology students. Students wanting information about these carrels should email Dr. Romulus D. Stefanut at rdstefan@sewanee.edu. 

Closed Carrels - These are enclosed desks that include a shelf that are scattered throughout duPont library. They are numbered and designated by a blue sign. Closed carrels are assigned at the beginning of each semester. Students must sign up at the announced carrel sign-up event, and they are assigned on a first come, first served basis.
