RESPECT FOR LIBRARY MATERIALS & SPACES

- Please do not highlight, underline, or write inside Library books (or on tables, walls, chairs…)

NON-COMPLIANCE

- In serious cases – e.g., overt disrespect towards a staff member or fellow student – Security will be called and you will be asked to leave the Library.
All disciplinary cases will be addressed in accordance with the Dawson College Code of Conduct.
