Access Policy
The Jen Library and the ACA Library of SCAD are open to the college community and members of the general public with appropriate identification.

Security Policy
A current SCAD photo ID is required to enter the library. Any SCAD student, faculty or staff member without his or her ID and all visitors must show one form of photo ID (e.g., driver's license) and sign in as a visitor to gain admittance to the library.

Circulation Policy
Each patron must present a valid SCAD ID and provide pertinent information in order to check out materials. All patron information is confidential. Each undergraduate may check out up to 10 circulating books for two-week periods. Each graduate student may check out up to 20 books for 30-day periods. Faculty members may check out books for 180 days, but the books are subject to recall for use by another patron after three weeks. Renewal is permitted when a book is not on hold for another patron. All renewals must be made at the library. Reference books, reserve materials, periodicals, audio-visual materials and vertical files are for in-library use only and do not circulate. Fines are charged on overdue materials at the rate of 10 cents per day. Interlibrary loan fines are charged at the rate of $5 per day.
