The Library seeks to provide a safe, secure and comfortable study environment for all its users. All Library users are expected to acquaint themselves with and observe this code. It has been devised to complement the TUS Student Code of Conduct.
The Library may suspend any person from the use of the library or library service if it deemed that an individual has seriously breached library rules and regulations, or has conducted in a manner which is unacceptable to library staff, other students or to the campus community. The person will have the right to appeal this decision through the procedures set out in the student handbook.
