Borrowing Guidelines

CECH Library materials may be checked out by current UC students, faculty, staff, and UC Alumni Association members. A current Bearcat Card or other valid picture ID such as a driver's license is required to check out materials. General rules and information about borrowing from UC Libraries are available via the Borrow Materials page.

Other users may also borrow; see the Non-UC Patrons section of our Borrow Materials page for complete details.

As we transition during the Libraries' system migration, loan periods and fines may be adjusted before the start of the fall 2025 semester. We appreciate your patience as we continue to refine processes following the migration.
