Borrowing Privileges
Current students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff of Jacksonville University have borrowing privileges at the College of Law Library. A valid Dolphin 1Card is required to check out materials. Your Dolphin Card is your Library card. To obtain a new Dolphin Card, contact Campus Security.
Due Dates and Overdue Notices
All patrons are responsible for returning library materials on or before the date the material is due. Due dates can be found online by logging into your library account.
The Library sends notices via e-mail to patrons alerting them of overdue materials. Notices are sent to institution e-mail addresses only (ju.edu email). The Library is not obligated to send overdue notices, but does so as a courtesy. A courtesy notice will be sent before an item is due. Two overdue notices will be sent, and if necessary, a final notice stating the charges incurred for the item(s). Failure to receive a library notice does not remove the borrower’s obligation to return the materials by the due date.
Fines and Fees
If an item is overdue for 45 or more days, the item will be considered lost and replacement fees will be charged. If you receive an overdue notice or bill for an item that has been returned, or you believe has been returned, contact the Library.
All fines will be charged to your student account and can be paid online through My JU. You may also pay library charges at the Cashier’s Office (located in the Howard building). The Library does not accept payments of any kind.
Returning Material
During library hours, all materials should be returned to the law Librarian.

Accreditation Information
Accreditation is the hallmark of quality and high standards for legal education and admission to the Bar. The Jacksonville University College of Law is provisionally approved by the American Bar Association (Council of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, 321 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654, 312-988-6738), and, in accordance with ABA rules, will continue to pursue full accreditation. Law schools that are provisionally accredited are entitled to all the rights of a fully approved law school. Similarly, from an ABA perspective, graduates of provisionally approved law schools are entitled to the same recognition that is accorded graduates of fully approved law schools.
