Northeastern University Alumni Benefits: A Comprehensive Guide

Northeastern University values its alumni and offers a variety of benefits and resources to help them stay connected, advance their careers, and maintain a lifelong relationship with the university. This article provides a detailed overview of the various advantages available to Northeastern alumni.

Access to Library Resources

One of the significant benefits for Northeastern alumni is access to the university's library resources. Alumni of Northeastern and alumnae of Mills College have access to the Snell Library in Boston, MA, and the F.W. Olin Library. This access enables alumni to continue their learning and research endeavors.

To access Snell Library, alumni must obtain an Alumni Husky Card from Husky Card Services. It's important to note that legal agreements for electronic resources restrict their use to educational purposes only.

Obtaining an Alumni Husky Card

To gain access to the library and other campus facilities, alumni will need an Alumni Husky Card. This card can be obtained from the Husky Card Office located at 4 Speare Commons on the Boston campus. You must come to campus to retrieve the Alumni Husky Card as they need to take your photo.

You will need your NU ID number and a government-issued form of identification. The Husky Card Office is open from Monday to Friday.

Online Databases and Borrowing Privileges

In addition to physical access to the library, alumni also have access to multiple online databases and can borrow books. To access these online databases, alumni must use their Northeastern credentials.

For specific questions about library access or resources, you can contact the library directly at 617.373.8778. Please see complete information about Northeastern Library services for alumni.

Career Networking and Professional Development

Campus Tours

To see how the campus has evolved since your time as a student, you can arrange a private tour in collaboration with the Admissions office. This is a great way to reconnect with the university and witness its growth.
