Alumni

Process of Library Access and Membership

All AUC alumni are eligible to apply for a membership in the AUC Libraries. Apply in person at the circulation desk at AUC New Cairo campus.

• Issue your alumni ID card through the Alumni office.
• Fill in the Library membership form.
• The aLibrary services team will review the application within one working day in case of pending documents or overdue payments. (In case you already have an AUC alumni ID, check Library records with the Library services team to be cleared for renewal. To be eligible for Library membership renewal, alumni with previous library membership need to return any overdue borrowed Library items or pay any overdue fines or replacement charges).
• Once the application is complete for eligibility, the Library services team will guide the applicant through the payment process.
• The Library membership fee for alumni is EGP 80 for a one-year membership from the date of payment.
• Once payment is processed, the Library services team will activate the alumni ID card for Library access within one working day.
