Off-Campus Access Information and Policy
Overview
Off-Campus
access is available to currently registered students at Piedmont Community
College and to currently employed faculty and staff. Patrons may not share the
password.
Access to Internet-based resources provided by Piedmont Community College is intended to support the research, educational, and administrative purposes of the college. By signing or electronically submitting the registration form, the individual agrees to abide by the PCC Computer & Network User Guidelines, consents to receive periodic e-mail updates (password changes and database updates), and agrees to maintain a valid and current e-mail account. Misuse may result in loss of library privileges, disciplinary action by the college, and/or legal prosecution by the College and/or North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education (NC LIVE).
The license agreements between NC LIVE and their database vendors authorize academic libraries to provide remote access to their students, faculty, and staff only. Remote access for the general public will be provided by public libraries. The local institution may not change, alter, or violate this regulation. Individuals must access NC LIVE using their own Internet Service Provider.
Registration
After the registration form is
submitted, the Technical Services Librarian will confirm that a student is
currently enrolled. For faculty or staff registrations, the Technical Services
Librarian will confirm with the Personnel Office that the individual is
currently employed. After confirming current enrollment or employment, the
Technical Services Librarian will
e-mail
the NC Live password to the applicant within 48 hours, excluding Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays. If this e-mail message is returned undelivered for any
reason (“user unknown,” “account over quota,” “message undeliverable,” etc.),
the application process ends.
Confirmations of enrollment or
employment will be made each time a new password is issued (a password is valid
for twelve months).
Please fill-out the form completely
with your PCC student e-mail address (students only) or your e-mail address at
your place of residence (faculty and/or staff only).
