Library Access for Students

You must be a currently registered student with Enrollment Services in order to borrow library material and access library services.
Your CWL (Campus Wide Login) will provide access to UBC library eResources.
Your UBCcard (physical or digital version) is your library card.
Apply for your UBCcard through the UBC Carding Office.

Distance Education Students are eligible to register for Distance Learning Library Services after obtaining a UBCcard.

Students must apply for a new UBCcard if their registration status changes (e.g., Undergraduate to Graduate) to receive the new borrowing privileges.
UBC students are eligible for Reciprocal Borrowing privileges at other universities through reciprocal borrowing arrangements.
Students who have forgotten their UBCcard and need to borrow library materials may apply for a temporary library card at any UBC library branch but only one temporary library card may be issued per academic term.
