CUA ID Card: As a student of The Catholic University of America, you are entitled to a CUA student photo-identification card. To receive one, you must go to the Office of Public Safety (121 Leahy Hall). You must be officially registered (your bill must be paid) before that office will issue an ID. The ID card will enable you to use any of the CUA or consortium libraries (if validated at CUA Mullen Library Circulation Desk), and to attend any of the campus functions that require student identification. This ID card must be validated every semester. You are not required to have a CUA ID card to attend courses at the LC site, however you will need one when you fulfill the residency requirement.

Holidays: In case of different holiday dates between CUA and LC, follow the CUA holiday schedule unless your professor indicates otherwise.

LC Closings: If the Library of Congress closes for snow or other emergencies, The Catholic University of America classes at LC will also be canceled, whether or not classes are being held at the CUA campus. If in doubt, call LC at (202) 707-5892.

Off-Campus Assistant: An off-campus assistant who is also a student in the program works part-time to help you with off-campus matters. You may contact Ms. Sylvia Dye at (202) 707-9235 or e-mail to sdye@loc.gov if you have any questions regarding information about the LC site.

Reserve Material: All assigned readings will be on reserve at the LC Training Office, LM 644 - sixth floor Madison building (unless otherwise specified by your instructor).

Semesters of Course Availability: Courses are taught at the Library of Congress site in the fall and spring semesters. Courses are not offered at LC in summer. See the Cycle of Courses for more information about course availability.
