Loan policies

Eligibility

Loans of items in our collection are restricted to Yale faculty, teaching assistants, and students. Our primary mission is to provide films and videos for classroom instruction and course study purposes.

To use the collection you must apply for borrowing privileges at the Film Study Center. You must have a valid Yale ID to borrow materials. On-site use of materials is open to the academic community.

Advance reservations are encouraged to ensure that the titles you wish to see are available.

Renewals

Extensions of the loan period may be considered dependent on availability and advance reservations. Loan renewals may be requested by calling the Film Study Center (432-0148) on the due back date before closing time.

Or, you can renew online by logging in with your Yale Netid and Password. If your renewal is not approved, you will receive an automatic message requesting that you return the film before close of the Film Study Center on the due back date. Failure to return the item will result in a Late Fee (Teaching Assistants and Students only.)
