Abuses of library privileges may result in the cancellation of borrowing privileges.

Courtesy Card holders may not:

• Borrow periodicals, microforms and other non-print or non-circulating materials for use outside of the Library
• Access certain electronic databases, which are for SCU faculty, staff and students only
• Use materials on course reserve

NOTE: There may be a fee associated with obtaining a Courtesy Card. Non-matriculating students and students from area colleges or universities who are enrolled in the ROTC program at Santa Clara University may obtain complimentary Courtesy Cards. In addition to the Courtesy Card holder privileges, these students may use materials on course reserve. Cards are issued only to those individuals identified by the appropriate program, e.g., School of Engineering, Military Science Department.
