  3. Our Obligation • Students deserve support • “When offered at high school sites or on-line, dual credit students should have access to sufficient and appropriate library/learning resources for the courses offered (CR 2.9, CS 3.8.1, CS 3.8.2).” - Bell Wheelan, May 2016 • “The institution provides (a) student and faculty access and user privileges to its library services and (b) access to regular and timely instruction in the use of the library and other learning/information resources.” – SACS Principles 2018 • Support “signature assignments” that feed assessment
