Get Started with Access for Alumni

Access and Registration

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, access to the Medical Education Building is limited to current Tufts University Health Sciences students, faculty, and staff.

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.

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.
