CCC faculty members are expected to "place one copy of all required and recommended texts on reserve in the library or the department office, consistent with Clackamas Community College copyright policies" (ISP170P). If your course texts are not on Course Reserve, ask your instructors to make them available in CCC Library.

Textbook loans via CCC Student Accounts
If your financial aid hasn't been awarded yet, CCC can help. The first two weeks of each term Student Accounts offers book loans to students who haven’t yet received their aid. (Students must have completed and filed their FAFSA.) The green form is available on the back wall of the FA office. Students must provide a current term course schedule and book list for the courses. The loans are usually available within 24 hours and there is a $500 limit.
