# The ACLS booking system

UTS will soon be moving to a new booking system called the ALCS.  To make a booking on the ACLS you need to do the following: 

1. Register on the ACLS system
2. Email [louise.cole@uts.edu.au](mailto:louise.cole@uts.edu.au) to let us know you've registered. 
3. After your registration is processed you'll receive email from the ACLS system.  Before your registration is processed you can't log on - you will get error saying *Invalid Credentials*.
4. Create a booking
