Borrowing Privileges

Columbus State University Library borrowing privileges are limited to: faculty, students, and staff of Columbus State University and University System of Georgia institutions; alumni with active membership in the alumni association; authorized faculty/staff dependents; and authorized non-student borrowers. Faculty, staff, and students must present their Cougar One card or Fac/Staff ID to borrow library items. Other borrowers must present their affiliated card. Circulating government documents may be checked out by any member of the community.

All circulation notices will be sent to Columbus State University affiliates by CougarNet e-mail only. Users should also check their GIL accounts regularly. Notices will be mailed to non-CSU affiliates. Changes of address should be reported to the library immediately.

Failure to receive notification does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to return items when they are due or to pay all assessed charges. The Library is not responsible for undelivered mail.
