How long can a student from another of the 5-Colleges take a book out for? If it is the normal time, what is the normal time? -Jackie

All 5-College students get 90 day loans with our books. That is the "normal" time a UMass undergraduate gets with a UMass book. There are other borrowing categories though.

Can other students from the 5-Colleges get on the internet?

Short answer, no. You need an Eduroam account to access the wireless on campus. It is possible for a 5-College student to have an account if they are taking a class at UMass that gives them a SPIRE login. If they don't have access they must log in as a public user  on the computers in the LC if they want to use the Internet.

How would a student from one of the other colleges log on to a desktop?

You can log in to any of the computers on the Lower Level as a public user and have access to the Internet and software.

Is the UCard the only thing that can be used at the Self Check-Out Machine?

The only cards that can be used at the Self Check-Out machine are the UCard (student, staff, and faculty ID), the card that state borrowers get from the Circulation/Reserves Desk, and IDs from the other 5-College institutions.
