Alumni Access
Why & When Do I Lose Access?
We wish you didn’t lose access to the amazing resources available to you as a USU student once you leave Utah State. Unfortunately, due to licensing agreements, we don’t have the flexibility to offer off-campus access for electronic resources to alumni. You will have access to the databases 21 days after the last day of the semester. After the 21 days, you will only be able to access the databases while in the library.
Tip:
How can I use the library during my grace semester?
If you are a graduate student who has completed course work but is still doing research and needs access to the library during your grace semester, please make sure you are registered for USU 7777. Registering for USU 7777 allows you to access library resources while you finish up your research without being charged for the course.
How can USU Alumni use the USU Libraries?
Just because you’re leaving the university doesn’t mean you can’t use many of the resources provided by USU Libraries. If you visit the on-campus libraries, you can access almost all of our electronic resources while on campus, including:
- E-journals
- E-books
- Article databases
You can access any of the 250 databases and 40,000 electronic journals from one of several public terminals on the first floor of the Merrill-Cazier Library, near the Information desk.
You can also check out any circulating print books or other materials. There is no cost for alumni to check out print materials, and you can check out 10 items at a time for three weeks. Alumni cards are available at the Alumni office (David B. Haight Alumni Center) in Logan.
