Student Borrowing

Borrow from the Library

Wheaton College graduate students and undergraduates can borrow at the circulation desk by showing their current Wheaton College ID card. 

  • Special program students may need to have their ID card activated or renewed by a circulation supervisor.
  • Students enrolled in Wheaton courses but living away from campus should see the Students at a Distance page.
  • If you have completed course work for a graduate degree, but still need library access while writing your thesis or dissertation, your borrowing privileges can be renewed by a circulation supervisor. Email circulation.desk@wheaton.edu or call 630-752-5610.
  • Student borrowing privileges end when you graduate. To borrow after graduation, you may obtain an Alumni account
