The University of Hartford is a private institution of higher education. Its libraries support the educational needs of University faculty, students, and staff. The University reserves the right to request PROPER UNIVERSITY IDENTIFICATION for the access to the libraries or for certain services.

Daily guest privileges are available for persons who have no formal relationship to the University community. Guests have limited access to library collections, equipment, seating, and services. Furthermore, contractual obligations with publishers impose restrictions on access to certain information technologies. The University retains the right to terminate guest privileges based on space needs or demands on staff time, or because of inappropriate or offensive behavior, in which event library staff will request guest to leave.
