Library Services for Middle Rio Grande College Campuses and Other Distance Education Students

If you are are enrolled in Sul Ross State University courses at any campus, the following information is designed with you in mind.

All Middle Rio Grande College Campuses provide library resources through the Southwest Texas Junior College Libraries. Anyone based in Uvalde, Del Rio, or Eagle Pass may utilize the library services and resources available in those buildings. The Southwest Texas Junior College Library buildings in Uvalde, Del Rio, and Eagle Pass also act as the InterLibrary Loan hubs for SRSU-MRGC students, staff, and faculty.

Distance Education is defined as a Web-based class, a class that is broadcast from the Alpine campus to another location, or is taught at a location other than the Alpine campus. The following statement should appear on all Distance Education Syllabi:

Students enrolled in distance education courses have equal access to the university’s academic support services, library resources, and instructional technology support. For more information about accessing these resources, visit the SRSU website. Students should submit online assignments through Blackboard or SRSU email, which require secure login information to verify students’ identities and to protect students’ information. The procedures for filing a student complaint are included in the student handbook. Students enrolled in distance education courses at Sul Ross are expected to adhere to all policies pertaining to academic honesty and appropriate student conduct, as described in the student handbook. Students in web-based courses must maintain appropriate equipment and software, according to the needs and requirements of the course, as outlined on the SRSU website.
