Alumni Library Services

As a member of our alumni community, you are now eligible for the library services for alumni, including an alumni library card which allows you to borrow books from our print collection, either in person or through mail.

The library’s digital resources are limited to current students due to our licensing arrangements; however, there are also other avenues that you can explore for accessing information resources post-graduation. Most public libraries have a suite of online databases that you can access from home once you are set up with an account, and many university databases are available on a walk-in basis. There are also paid for research services, such as Infoaction at the Vancouver Public Library which are affordable for a small business person or contractor. That way, you can also write off the research as a business expense and have an expert researcher do the work for you.

Your RRU Login can be used to access programs, courses, credentials, and micro-credentials through Professional and Continuing Studies. As an RRU alum, you can also take advantage of an exclusive 50% discount on tuition for non-credit courses through our Lifelong Learning initiative.
