Continuing Studies students not enrolled in a Certificate Program or people not affiliated with The University of the Arts may not borrow from the Libraries.

There is no limit on the number of materials that may be checked out by faculty, students, or staff, except for materials such as videos, recordings, and reserve materials. Most materials may be renewed for up to one year as long as the patron is in good standing (see below). Materials MUST be returned after one year. Library materials are university property and should be taken seriously.

Continuing Studies Certificate Program students, alumni, and members may borrow up to 10 items at a time and may renew once.

Students and staff may carry up to $5.00 in overdue fines or fees before borrowing privileges are suspended. Any fees remaining at the end of the academic year will be sent to the University's Finance Office and added to the student's fall tuition bill. University library fines and fees are financial obligations to the university. All materials must be returned and fines or fees paid in order for students to receive diplomas or transcripts.

Renewals

You may renew materials yourself, through your library record online, or you may call the Greenfield (215-717-6280) or Music (215-717-6292) Library. Please note that this does not apply to course reserve materials.

Circulating books, scores and pictures may be renewed for up to one year by University of the Arts students, faculty and staff if no one else has requested them and if you have less than $5.00 in accumulated overdue fines on your record. After one year, materials must be returned or borrowing privileges will be suspended. This policy applies to ALL patrons, including faculty.

Students may renew circulating videos, DVDs, and laserdiscs (i.e., those not on course reserve) twice. These items are one-day checkouts, thus the renewal period is one additional day per renewal. Students may renew slides once.

Continuing Studies Certificate Program students, alumni, and member borrowers may renew materials once.

Holds and Recalls

Holds: If an item is checked out, anyone eligible to borrow may place a hold on it. This prevents the patron who has it checked out from renewing it but does not affect the due date. When an item with a hold on it is returned, you will receive a notice that the item is ready for you in the respective library. You may place a hold on checked-out items yourself through the online catalog or you may ask library staff at the circulation desk to do so for you. Holds cannot be placed on items that are not checked out.

Recalls: Anyone eligible to borrow may place a recall on a checked-out item. Recalls must be placed by library staff. Recalling an item alters the due date for the patron who currently has the item checked out. That patron will have 10 days from the date of the recall to continue using the item and return it by the new due date. If you receive a recall notice, please pay attention to it: the overdue fine for recalled items goes up to $1.00/day, up to a maximum accrual of $20.00 per item.
