No single program-wide mileage rule. Instead, individual member institutions can opt to restrict privileges on a per-institution basis, marked with symbols on the official roster: '**' = privileges do not extend to visitors who are themselves members of another institution within a 15-mile radius of THAT institution; '#' = same but a 50-mile radius; '*' = privileges may be restricted for concerts/lectures/special exhibitions/ticketed events; '***' = both the 15-mile radius AND event restriction; '^' = privileges not extended to members of institutions that themselves restrict reciprocity to this institution; '##' = a named carve-out (e.g. UC Berkeley Art Museum's benefit excludes the Pacific Film Archive specifically). These restrictions are set per receiving institution, not as a blanket NARM policy.
