Distance Education Students:

Distance Education students are considered just like students who take classes in person. They all have a program campus affiliation. Depending on which campus your program campus affiliation is, you have different options available to you.

  • Regardless of which campus you are affiliated with, Document Delivery does not deliver books to an individual’s home address.
  • If you are affiliated with the Tempe Campus, please see the Library Express webpage regarding how to get articles delivered to you electronically.
  • If you are affiliated with the Downtown, Polytechnic or West Campuses, please contact the library on the campus to determine what services they offer.
