Information for Alumni: Home

In order to use many of HCCC and the Library's services -- checking out books, accessing the College buildings, attending HCCC events -- HCCC alumni will need to obtain the alumni card.

To obtain the alumni card, please visit the HCCC Alumni Services and fill out the form. You will have your alumni ID card mailed to you and you can use this card to use Library services as an HCCC alumnus.

You can also contact the HCCC alumni information at the following:

Due to the copyright restrictions from database vendors, HCCC alumni do not have access to our library-subscribed resources.

Alumni may use:

• Library Catalog: find books and DVDs in our libraries.
• Research Guides: librarian curated resource guides for a subject, topic or course.

If you have any questions, please contact our librarians. We'd be happy to help!
