LibGuides: High School Visits to University of Rochester: Before Your Visit

Welcome!

Thank you for considering a visit to the River Campus Libraries with your High School Students! We look forward to collaborating with you. Please take a moment to fill out this Request Form so we can expedite scheduling your visit.

Circulation & Checkout

If you would like your students to be able to borrow books and other physical materials from the River Campus Libraries, please ensure they have been approved for the RRLC Access Pass (linked below). Please note, you will need to find your school on the RRLC Access Pass List and find out who the appropriate person is to approve their RRLC accounts.

Once they have received the RRLC Access Pass email (or you, on their behalf) only then can we create a borrower's card on our end. If you would like to speed that process, please have each student fill in our Borrower's Request Form (below) at least 48 hours in advance of your visit.

RRLC Access Pass
Please note that this is only the first step in gaining borrowing privileges at the River Campus Libraries, and our local form will still need to be filled out by each student.
Local Access Request Form
This form will allow our local River Campus Libraries team to create a borrower's card for your students ahead of their arrival, as well as allowing our library staff to create temporary IDs for database access.
River Campus Libraries Borrowing Policies
You are welcome to review more information about borrowing materials, including length of loan and quantity limits if you are interested.

Computer and Database Access

Students may bring their own devices or we can request a computer lab for your use (with enough advanced notice).

In either case, students will need a username and password to log into certain databases, which your coordinating U of R librarian will provide.

We encourage students to save the items they find by downloading them to a personal device, cloud location, or flash drive. After their visit, any access they had to our databases will expire. Please prepare your students by designating a location for this.

For Student/School Owned Devices

U of R Wireless Network
Students who have brought their own devices will need to use the UR_RC_Guest network to gain access to the internet while on campus.
Local Access Request Form
This form will allow our local River Campus Libraries team to create a borrower's card for your students ahead of their arrival, as well as allowing our library staff to create temporary IDs for database access.

Using College Owned Computers

Network Registration Form
If your students will need to use our campus computers, EACH student must fill out this form ONE DAY prior to the visit. This access is only good for a limited time, so it is important to adhere to this timeline.

Lunch Options

Dining Halls
To better understand what your options are for lunch, please feel free to peruse the menus of the following dining halls. Please note that the menus change daily, so you will need to choose a specific dining option to review the menu. Also note that not all options may be open during your visit, so please check with the coordinating librarian to be sure about the availability of certain options on the date of your visit.

Danforth Dining Hall - Buffet style with various stations including salad, soup, and homestyle, among many others. ($9)

Douglass Dining Hall - Buffet style dining with various stations including salad, soup, and pizza, among many others. ($9)

The Pit - Cafeteria style dining with pizza, Asian fusion, build-a-bowl, and burger stations as well as a full salad bar. This is a good option if some of your students will bring and others will buy. (Prices vary)

Of course, you are always welcome to stop elsewhere for food or bring your own.

*None of our dining options are equipped to accept cash, and will only take credit/debit cards. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
