Library Access for Alumni

Download your alumni UBC app from the Apple or Google Play stores. Apply for your Alumni Library Barcode to be added to your app here.
Once a barcode is visible on the Verified Tile of your app, you are registered and ready to sign out material.
It may take up to 10 days for your barcode to appear in the app.

Basic reference assistance, access to online resources using library branch computers, collections use and study spaces are available to everyone in the libraries free of charge.
Remote access to most online resources is restricted by licensing agreements to current UBC students, staff and Faculty.
Most books can be borrowed for 2-weeks and are renewable if they are not requested by another borrower.
Interlibrary loans are available at a minimum charge of $30 per request. Contact the Interlibrary Loan department for more details.
Alumni library privileges are for personal use only and may not be transferred to family members or used for business purposes
