Holiday Request Delays
Due to holiday closures, the delivery time for many requests will be delayed into early January 2026. Please expect longer turnaround times.
Access to Libraries
- Please review the current campus status level to determine your level of access.
- Alumni can register for same-day access to the Morningside campus using the online campus registration portal. (Note: Community CUIDs will not provide campus access at this time.)
- Once on campus, alumni can use their Community CUID to access libraries. Alumni who wish to apply for a Community CUID can find instructions here. Alumni with a CUID will still need to complete the registration form ahead of their visit and have a QR code to enter campus.
- Please check individual library hours before visiting.
