*Notes

  • For items with loan periods that automatically renew the loan period is the minimum time the item may be borrowed before it is recalled.
  • Faculty may check out program-related material for a semester, subject to recall after 3 weeks.
  • All loan periods are shortened to the user's account expiry date if the account expires during a loan period.
  • Distance students:
    • take Saskatchewan Polytechnic classes
    • are located in Canada
    • but are not located near Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert or Moose Jaw.  Students located near these cities borrow directly from their local Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus library.
