• Alumni of the Medical College must show an alumni card from the Office of Alumni Relations for access to the Library.
• Alumni of the Graduate School must present a letter of verification from the Graduate School Office. A separate library card will be issued to eligible alumni at that time.
• Members of the Center Alumni Council must show a current membership card.
