How many books can I check out?

Answer

Checkout periods vary by collection and your classification. Loan policies for the general circulating collection are as follows:

  • UTD faculty may borrow up to 300 items for a full semester.
  • UTD graduate and PhD students, researchers, and librarians may check out up to 150 items for a full semester.
  • UTD undergraduates and staff may check out up to 50 items for 21 days.
  • All other patrons, including Friends of the Library and TexShare users, may check out up to 5 items for 21 days.

Due dates for materials can be altered (shortened) if another patron places a request or hold on the item or via other exceptions (e.g., a book recalled for Course Reserves). 

For a more details, including a fine schedule and a list of borrowing exceptions, see Borrow, Renew & Return.
