The CUNY Council of Chief Librarians enforced a change in loan periods for doctoral and graduate students system-wide. All doctoral and graduate students will receive a standard 3-week loan for circulating books from all CUNY libraries, the same as undergraduates. The number of renewals permitted is determined by each CUNY library. To offset the loss of the 6-week loan for doctoral students, the Graduate Center library will offer unlimited renewals to this standard 3-week loan for Graduate Center books. Grad students are offered 6 renewals on the standard 3-week loan and Grad Center faculty are offered unlimited renewals on 6-week loans. See CUNY-Wide Circulation Policies and Graduate Center Library Privileges. CUNY books may be renewed online through CUNY+ My Account.
