Borrower Categories

Students, Faculty, and Staff
All Trinity College, Connecticut College, and Wesleyan University students, faculty, staff and retirees are automatically granted borrowing privileges across the three schools as long as they are actively enrolled, employed, or retired, and have a current ID card. Trinity retirees also have ILL privileges, which will be granted upon request.

Affiliated Borrowers
Auditors, visiting faculty, and current instrumental instructors will be issued a Special Borrowers Card upon request at the circulation desk anytime a supervisor is available. A completed application form and an acceptable form of identification will be required.

Alumni and Guest Borrowers
Trinity alumni can obtain a Special Borrowers Card upon request at the circulation desk anytime a supervisor is available.
Faculty, staff, or doctoral students from institutions part of the Council of Connecticut Academic Library Directors (CCALD) must submit an application for guest borrowing privileges and present their CCALD card. A decision is typically conveyed within one week of application.

Applications for a Special Borrower’s Card are available at the library’s Circulation Desk or by emailing library.circulation@trincoll.edu. Applicants will be asked for a valid government-issued photo ID before receiving their Special Borrower’s Card.

Note that a Special Borrower's Card allows borrowing of Trinity print materials only. They do not include access to the library's online resources, Connecticut College or Wesleyan University Collections, or interlibrary loan requests.

 

Suspension of Borrowing Privileges

Note that all borrowing privileges will automatically be suspended if any borrower:

  • Has 5 overdue items
  • Has 1 recalled item overdue
  • Has 1 reserve item overdue
  • Has accumulated $100 in unpaid fines and fees
