Public Services - Using the Library

Homeschoolers with a current library card can use the following Library services:

• Use of open study spaces and public wifi
• Use of open-access databases only
• Use of reservable group study rooms
• Check out of internal use only items, such as headphones and public access computers.
• Check out physical books and DVDs
• Check out non-book items, such as umbrellas, blankets, etc. 

To register your homeschooler, please do the following:

1. All homeschoolers under 18 must be sponsored by a parent or guardian with an active library card on file with Regent University Library. If you are a parent or guardian registering for the first time and are not affiliated with Regent University, please visit the Visiting Student or Local Non-Student pages to register for a library card before registering your homeschooler. 
2. Fill out the Registration form below for each homeschooler wishing to register for a library card. Fill this form out with the homeschooler's name and information, ensuring that you include a unique email address, as this will be used for their username in our system. 
3. Additionally, for each homeschooler, fill out a "Minor Verification Form," as seen below. Under the patron type, select "Consortium." This form verifies that any actions taken by the homeschooler's account will be insured by their sponsoring adult, such as lost or damaged materials. 
4. Once all forms are complete, please come to the Resource Desk to take a photo and show proof of identification. Proof of identity is required for the parent/guardian and is optional for the minor homeschooler. 
5. A library card will be issued, which must be brought and scanned each time they visit, both for checking out materials and checking in when entering the library.
