Get Started with Access for Alumni

Access and Registration

Boston campus alumni gain remote access to e-resources through the Tufts Alumni Online Community.

Alumni will need to register with the online community after graduation.

When visiting the Boston campus, alumni of the Medford and Grafton campuses are required to bring a library card issued by their school.

Call the Library Service Desk at 617-636-6706 or email hhslcirc@tufts.edu if you have questions about your access to Tufts University Hirsh Health Sciences Library resources.
