Do you have the book I need? Do you have the textbook for my class? You can search GIL Classic. If you know the exact title of the book, go to GIL Classic and use the Exact Search page to look for the exact title. If we don't have it, go to the Online Bookstore or the Campus Bookstore. Where are the course reserves for my class and what does it mean when a book is "on reserve?" Reserve items are typically in high demand. Keeping an item "On Reserve" helps ensure that every student in a class has a chance to look at it, instead of one student taking it home for a month and leaving the rest of the class empty-handed. I want to learn more about the library. What's the difference between a magazine and a journal? Back to the top of the page. Where is Learning and Tutoring Center and the writing and math labs? Where is my instructor's office, what is her phone number, and what is her email address? Note: some professors prefer that you contact them through the iCollege email system. Look for their name (often their first name) on the drop down list of students and faculty, check it off, and add it as an address to the To line in the email header. How can I tell when the items I have checked out are due? Once you access your account, look for the menu option on the right that says "Checked Out Items." Click on that option and you will see a list of the items you currently have checked out and their due dates. If the item is not overdue and you have not renewed it twice, you can renew it. Check the box by the title(s) and press Renew Items. For more help renewing items, please click here. You can also call any campus library or stop by a circulation desk if you have questions about due dates. Can I renew items from home? Where do I pay the fine for an overdue book? What happens if I don't pay my library fines? To clear a library hold, library fines/fees can be paid in cash at campus library circulation desks. If you need to pay by credit or debit card, your campus library circulation desk can print an outstanding balance statement which can be paid at student accounts. For more details and a schedule of fines see this website: our policies page. You can also contact the circulation desk at any Perimeter College library to discuss your particular situation. I have a hold on my account! To clear a library hold, you can pay library fines/fees in cash at campus library circulation desks. To pay by credit or debit card, you can get an outstanding balance statement from the library's circulation desk and take it tostudent accounts. For more details and a schedule of fines see this website: our policy pages. You can also contact the circulation desk at any Perimeter College campus library to discuss your particular situation. There are several other kinds of holds not related to the library. Look carefully at the information the Paws gives you. For other types of Banner holds, you may need to speak to your advisor or someone in Registrar Assistance or Public Safety (parking tickets) to remove your block. Where do I find practice problems/essays for the Regents Tests?
Back to the top of the page. I need to take a test for I-college in the Respondus Lockdown Browser. What do I do? To take an exam using Respondus Lockdown Browser on a Perimeter College at Georgia State University computer, check that the computer you are using has an icon shaped like a gold or brass padlock on the screen. Click that icon, select iCollege from the QuickLinks, and then open the exam and take it. You can also contact the IIT Help Desk . How do I get a copier or printer refund? Do you provide wireless and laptop Internet access? How do I print? If you are connected to the Library's wireless network and need to print, go to Wireless Printing for Students and follow the on-screen instructions. Go to one of the printer release stations, swipe your card, then enter your name to login. Click the name of the item you wish to print, and click Print. Do you have a FAX machine? Where are the computer labs (CatLabs)? Do you have a scanner? Back to the top of the page. Where can I check my personal email account?
Where can I get a copy of my schedule? Where are my Classes? To find the location for your class(es) log into the Paws and then find the class schedules. Make sure to select the current semester or summer session before searching by subject or campus. Please activate your Panther (GSU) campusID before using Paws. How do I add and drop classes? Where can I turn in all manner of paperwork, pay my bills, change twenty dollar bills, see admissions and financial aid counselors, and use a guest computer while I am registering? At Alpharetta Student Financial Servcies is in Room 1120. Admissions is in Room 1500, and Advising and Counseling is in Room 1210. For more information, please consult the Alpharetta Campus Map. At Clarkston Student Financial Services, Admissions, and Advising and Counseling are all in the Student Center (Building N) through the big smoked glass doors, near the Book Store. The Clarkston Campus Map can help you find Building N. On the Decatur campus, Admissions, Student Financial Services, and Advising and Counseling are all located in the Student Success Center, Building F. You can see Building F on the Decatur Campus Map. At Dunwoody, Admissions, Student Financial Services, and Advising and Counseling are all in Building B which is also a student center. A Dunwoody Campus Map can help you find this building. At Newton, Admissions, Student Financial Services, and Advising and Counseling are all in Building 1. You can see Building 1 on a Newton Campus Map. Note: All maps are PDF files that need Adobe Reader. I have questions about online classes... The library staff can answer some questions of a general nature about i-College/Bright Space classes, but we cannot answer specific questions about your course. Often your instructor is the best person for specific questions. Most instructors tell you how to contact them in the course syllabus. Usually, emailing the instructor within iCollege/Bright Space is a good way to communicate. Other times, there is a class message board for questions of a non-confidential nature, and there is always phone and email. On the Clarkston Campus, visit Perimeter College Online in Rm 2310 in the library (JCLRC). For help with specific online classes, Clarkston students can also visit department secretaries and some online instructors in the offices of CL-1200 (in the library/JCLRC). I need to see the Dean. Every Perimeter College at Georgia State University campus has at least one Dean. You can find out who they are and how to contact them through the Perimeter College Deans' Web Site. Where do I take placement tests? You can arrange to take a variety of tests (COMPASS, CLEP, etc...) at one of Perimeter College at Perimeter College of Georgia State University's Testing Centers. Their website gives information about a variety of exams. Where do I park my car and not get a ticket? First, you must obtain a decal/permit for any car you wish to park on campus. You can obtain parking permits from Parking Web.
Where can I get a copy of the Student Handbook? Where can I get something to eat on my campus? Does the library have a café/coffee bar? Just need a snack? All campuses have vending machines. Where is the Continuing Education Building? Although the Continuing Education program no longer exists, The Continuing Education building (also called Building I) is across Indian Creek Drive next to Clarkston High School. I've just lost an item. Is there a lost and found on this campus? In addition, each campus Public Safety Department has a lost and found, where they collect J-Cards and other precious items ONLY.
