Faculty / Student Assistant Cards

The Card Office is responsible for creating/ distributing Faculty/Student Assistant Library cards to faculty members who want their student assistants to be able to sign out library materials and/or make copies for them. The card is in both the faculty member’s name and the student’s name, but it is the faculty member who is responsible for all material signed out on the card.

Please use discretion in allowing students to sign out books in your name. In the past, some students have abused this privilege and faculty members have had to pay for the replacement of unreturned materials that students took out for their own use.

The card must be validated at the library circulation desk in order to activate borrowing privileges.  Click here for loan periods associated with faculty student assistant cards.

  • Come to the Card Office to pick up a Faculty/Student Assistant card form, or download the form here.
  • The faculty member should fill out the form. The student can then bring the authorized form to the Card Office where the student’s picture will be taken and card will be issued.
  • The Faculty/Student Assistant card will be activated for use in the Library system within 24 hours.
