• Instructors (who lack academic staff status), teaching assistants, and Residential Education staff may check media out for 3 days* after obtaining an extended media borrowing card from the Privileges Desk on the 1st floor of Green (Mon.-Fri. between 8am and 5 pm.) Applications are available at the Privileges Desk and online. [pdf file]
