Graduate Privileges
Graduates are defined as any students who have officially obtained a degree from CCAD. Students who have taken classes at CCAD but have not received a diploma are not able to obtain library privileges. Faculty and staff who are no longer employed by CCAD are also not able to obtain library privileges. However, official Faculty Emeritus do have lifetime privileges. To enroll in Graduate Privileges, the graduate must fill out and sign a Graduate Privileges form (see bottom of this page).
Library Materials and Account Access
Graduates need a valid ID to check out items. All CCAD graduates have lifetime library privileges. Graduates are allowed to check out up to 5 books, DVDs, circulating magazines, or other eligible items at a time. Graduates also have borrowing privileges through OhioLINK.
Graduates do not have off-campus database access due to contractual agreements with vendors, but they may use them in the library.
Graduates also do not have borrowing privileges for equipment (e.g. Cintiq pens, drawing aids, and other items).
Notifications
The CCAD Packard Library sends automated overdue or item-on-hold-availability notices via provided email as a courtesy to our patrons. The library ultimately holds all of its patrons responsible for being aware of due dates for loaned items and for their prompt return.

If a CCAD Packard Library item is more than 30 days overdue, it will go into billing. It will result in a restriction being placed on a patron’s account and a $100 replacement fee. If an OhioLINK item has not been returned after 30 days, it will also go into billing. The patron will incur a $125 replacement fee. Once the item is returned, the replacement fee will be removed.
If the item is still in print and a clean copy is available at a reasonable price, we prefer that you purchase a replacement copy of the item. It must be the same edition or newer of the item. Contact Christine Mannix, cmannix@ccad.edu or 614-222-3273, for more information.
To pay replacement fees, you will need to contact Bursar@ccad.edu.
After making the payment, you will need to show your receipt to the library staff. You can also email the receipt to library@ccad.edu.
