Doctoral students currently enrolled at AU have all rights
and privileges to use library collections and to take advantage of the full
range of services offered all students. After completing coursework, doctoral
students are no longer considered matriculating students even if still working
on a dissertation. As a result, library privileges will be reduced. In
particular, remote access to online databases, e-books and e-journals will be
removed. Inter-library loan privileges will also end.
Doctoral students can extend their full library privileges
by registering for continuous matriculation with the Registrar’s Office.
We advise students to register before the end of May to avoid expiration of
privileges during the summer.
