We encourage your use of library materials, facilities, and reference services.
Isaac Bear Early College Students (IBEC) enrolled in UNCW courses have the same privileges as other UNCW students.
By sponsoring their child, the parent or guardian assumes responsibility for the return of all materials and the payment of any charges assessed for damages or overdue fees. A signed Parental Authorization for Isaac Bear Early College Students form, provided by IBEC, is required prior to receiving lending privileges. IBEC students will be issued a special borrower's card which must be presented to borrow materials. Privileges may be renewed annually as long as the student is enrolled in IBEC. IBEC students authorized to use the Library are subject to all policies and regulations of the Library and failure to adhere to these policies will result in revocation of use privileges.
