Bring your QCard to check out library materials. We're sorry, but we physically need your valid QCard in order to check anything out to you. We cannot type in your patron number or name.
Students taking 7 week classes can check out books starting the first day of the term in which they’re enrolled. Books are normally checked out for 28 days. You can renew a book that becomes due during the term.
Students must be currently enrolled in a course to borrow library materials. If you skip a term you will not have borrowing privileges during the skipped term. If this causes a hardship for a student, circulation staff will work with them to extend the due date. The student needs to bring a bursar's receipt that shows that they're registered for the next term or a note from a faculty member or program administrator confirming that the student is doing work outside the normal term dates. The faculty member or administrator can send an e-mail to the circulation staff at ablcirculation@quinnipiac.edu
