Register for an Alumni account

AS&E and SMFA alumni can register for an alumni library account to borrow physical books, CDs, and DVDs by completing this form. Your graduation from Tufts will need to be verified. Once you are registered, your alumni account will be valid for five years and is renewable.  

See our Loan & renewal periods page to learn more about what you can borrow with an alumni account.

Fletcher School alumni can register through Ginn Library.  Boston health sciences campus alumni can register through Hirsh Library.
