Students of Brite Divinity School are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the published academic policies, rules, regulations, and procedures of Brite Divinity School and Texas Christian University. This is a reminder that personal conduct in the Library is subject to the Codes of Conduct section in this handbook. In addition, the “Academic Conduct and Plagiarism Policy” published in this handbook includes all resources of the Mary Couts Burnett Library.
Please be aware of the following:
Students are advised not to loan borrowed Library resources to others for use. Likewise, students may not give their Student Identification Cards to others—including spouses, children, siblings, or friends—for the purpose of borrowing resources from the Mary Couts Burnett Library. In all cases, the student is responsible for the return or replacement of items charged to the student’s account.
Writing notes or comments in materials, highlighting, removing contents, or marking contents by folding corners or pages is considered an abuse of resource materials. Likewise, students are not to hide, conceal, or otherwise make unavailable for use any reference, reserve, or circulating material. No resource is to be removed from the Library or stored in lockers or carrels unless properly processed by Library Circulation Staff.
Unless designated as a public access terminal, all computers in the Library are for the sole use of current students, faculty, and staff of Texas Christian University. Use of such equipment is restricted to activities associated with the academic process as outlined by the “Computing Resources Policy” of Brite and Texas Christian University. Students may not loan their TCU identification numbers, passwords, or PINs to others—including spouses, children, siblings, or friends—for the purpose of accessing restricted University computer accounts or Library databases. Students assume full responsibility for the appropriate use of computing resources accessed with their TCU identification numbers. In some cases, students may be required to reimburse the University for electronic services or data delivery fees associated with unauthorized or non-University related computer use.
