Access & Borrowing Policies

Your TC3 Card serves as your library card. Both full and part-time students can obtain this photo ID in Room 110. No library materials will be checked out to a student without a valid TC3 Card. It is also required to access our subscription databases.

We welcome community residents to use our services. You can obtain a Community Borrower card by completing an application and providing proof of identification to library staff. If you are completing it off-campus, we will contact you to verify your identification. Once approved, your new card will be mailed to you and you will be able to check out items. You can add money to your card for printing and photocopying in the Baker Commons or to use in the cafeteria or campus vending machines.

Overdue Notices - Students and staff will receive notification of overdue library books and media via their TC3 student e-mail accounts (@mymail.tc3.edu). Information about setting up the account can be found on the TC3 Student E-mail page.
