Fitness Club Membership
King’s offers a limited number of complimentary membership to the New York Health and Racquet Club.  Sign up for this membership is on a first-come basis.

Students not using their membership at least four times a month may have their membership terminated.

Room Reservations
Students may reserve classroom space in the lower lobby for the following purposes:

• To hold student organization meetings (must be an officially recognized campus organization)
• To hold study groups (when studying requires the group members to interact)
• To hold Bible studies or times of prayer

Other needs that students may have for room reservations are subject to approval by the Dean of students.
The procedure to reserve classroom space in the lower lobby is as follows:

The group leader or an executive member of the organization must make a room request by email (preferably a week in advance) to advising@tkc.edu

The email should contain these specific details:

• Name of group or organization.
• The date the room is needed.
• The number of people expected to attend.
• The hour and length of time the room is needed.

The requestor then waits for a response acknowledging the room request and informing the student of room availability.

Be advised that scheduled classes in a room take priority over any meeting. Therefore, if a group or organization’s event needs more time in a room where class is about to begin, the group or organization must give the room up to the class. The assignments of classrooms for scheduled classes are made by the Registrar’s office.

The Academic Advising Center
The Academic Advising Center provides assistance in course selection, improving academic skills, and career selection. The Center provides tutoring, a writing center, and other resources to help students overcome difficulties in academic work. For more information contact Advising@tkc.edu.

Battles Library
Visitors to the Rosezella Battles Library are impressed with its distinctive lighting and beautiful furniture. This quiet setting is conducive to study and prompts one to return often.

The college’s collection is particularly strong in a biblical worldview and the integration of faith and learning. The library also houses hundreds of educational videos and dozens of academic journals. Through its catalog on the student web page, the library provides 24 hour access to virtual study halls, reference desks and reading lounges.

During the academic year, the Battles Library is open Monday through Thursday, 9am to 10pm, Friday 9am to 8pm and Saturday 10am to 6pm. We extend our hours during finals till 11pm, Monday through Saturday. However, during school vacations and the summer months, the library reduces its evening hours (6:30pm Monday through Thursday and at 5pm on Fridays) and remains closed on Saturdays.

The Battles library also offers these helpful services: reference assistance, classroom instruction in academic research methods, group tours of nearby public libraries, access to the Internet, and borrowing privileges from other libraries. (Through the college’s participation in a library consortium, you can borrow books from other libraries. This process is known as Inter-Library Loan, and typically takes about a week.)

You have access to literally millions of books, all within walking distance of the college. These books are housed in three New York Public Libraries: the Humanities and Social Science Research Library (5th and 42nd), the Mid Manhattan Branch Library (5th and 41st) and the Science, Business and Industry Library (Madison and 34th).

Students seeking to conduct research at other college libraries, such as the nearby CUNY Graduate School library, must first contact our librarian for assistance by email at library@tkc.edu or by phone at (212) 659-3612. Access is granted on a case by case basis.
