Reminder: When students first enter the media center they first must sign in to the Library Student Check In/Out system. When students use their student id number and indicate the reason for their visit. They are to log out before they leave. This provides media staff useful data including number of patron visits.
Visit the ARC Media Center webpage for more information.
Student IDs
Sadly student IDs will not be provided this year. Due to a very old printer we are unable to print IDs. We hope funding may come available in the future in order to resume making IDs.
