DePaul Alumni

​​​DePaul alumni have access to the subset of library privileges listed below with a DePaul Alumni ID card. 

Alumni can obtain an access code to use the wireless network on campus by visiting the Office of Alumni Relations in the Loop, calling 773-325-8390 or emailing dpalumni@depaul.edu during normal business hours. Public kiosk computers are also available to access online library resources.

The library cannot provide DePaul alumni with off-campus access to the library's subscription databases due to license restrictions. However most licensed content is available to users who visit the physical library on campus, with some exceptions.  The library also provides information about online resources that are freely available to the public in our open access listings.
