At my school, if the college gives the student a valid Ithaca College
e-mail address, then we count them as part of our FTE and give them
access.  More recently, the college has begun allowing alums to keep
their IC e-mail addresses for life, which complicates things.  (We had
2 e-resources that authenticated based on @ithaca.edu as the e-mail
domain name.  One was able to adjust; the other, we had to drop
because we could not filter out unauthorized users.  Now the college
has a way to authenticate alums differently, even though their e-mail
address is no different than when they were students.  The college
decides who's in and who's out -- and that goes for students at our
Los Angeles and London centers as well as continuing ed.  If the
college counts them as a student, and includes them in our FTE, so do
we.

It works for us.

Hello,

My campus is beginning to offer continuing education courses. I’m
wondering how CE students are treated at other institutions where
library access is concerned. Are CE students granted access to login
to campus computers using their own credentials? Are CE students
granted off-campus access to library resources? If you allow for
off-campus access, what terms do you include in your license
agreements? Would the term “affiliated users” work for this group? Or,
do you not provide remote access to CE students at all?

As a state institution, we already have a walk-in policy in place, so
that is not an issue.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.
