Visiting Scholar:
Visiting scholars have an official affiliation to a department of Andrews University. Information about such scholars are provided by the Office of the Provost. Their information is uploaded into the system, and they automatically enjoy faculty unlimited borrowing privileges.
Guest Scholar:
Scholars who do not have an official affiliation to a department of Andrews University are regarded as Guest Scholars and may visit the library and have on-site access to services and resources including electronic databases. To qualify for borrowing privileges, complete the Guest Scholar Application Form and present a current photo ID and a valid university ID of your affiliated institution in person at the main Circulation Desk. You will be issued a borrowing card that is valid for 30 days. This patron category has no off-campus access to electronic resources.
