To qualify for borrowing privileges, complete the Guest Scholar Application Form and present a current photo ID and a valid university ID of your affiliated institution in person at the main Circulation Desk.   You will be issued a borrowing card that is valid for 30 days. This patron category has no off-campus access to electronic resources.
