Alumni of Drexel University, Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences and MCP Hahnemann University are invited to use the Libraries and apply for an Alumni Library Card.

Alumni must present proof of graduation. To get an alumni card or letter confirming alumni status, visit the Paul Peck Alumni Center at 3142 Market Street, call 215-895-ALUM, or visit the Drexel alumni website to fill out an online form.

The alumni card or letter should be brought to the service desk in the W. W. Hagerty Library, where an Application for Library Privileges will be completed. An Alumni Library Card does not expire but alumni will be asked to verify current contact information annually.

Access to the W. W. Hagerty Library

Alumni may visit the W. W. Hagerty Library during all staffed operating hours, except during final exam periods. A valid photo ID and an alumni card are required to enter the W. W. Hagerty Library. 

Please note that the doors to the Library will lock after normal visitor hours end. (In general, visitor hours are 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.)

To enter the building when the doors are locked, please ring the doorbell located by the front doors. A Public Safety Officer will check for the required ID at the front door before signing in alumni at the security desk. Visit our hours page for our current schedule and our staffed operating hours.

On-site Computing & Access to Electronic Resources

The Drexel University Libraries supports flexible, on-site computing resources for use by alumni.

Alumni may take advantage of free campus Wi-Fi access by bringing their own laptop, phone, and other personal devices to any Libraries location. 

Alumni may also borrow a Libraries laptop, subject to availability, to access MOST Drexel-licensed databases and other electronic software (access is restricted to some resources) for use anywhere within the W. W. Hagerty Library. Remote access to licensed e-resources that have restricted access is not otherwise available for alumni beyond the on-site use of Drexel Libraries equipment.

Alumni interested in using a Libraries computer should speak to a member of the staff at the service desk. Alumni must present their alumni card to gain access to a Libraries computer.

Archives Collections

Drexel University Archives preserves the history of Drexel University. Alumni are invited to contact the Archivist to explore the histories of academic departments and student organizations, or to peruse yearbooks and other Drexel publications.

The Archives and Special Collections on Women in Medicine and Homeopathy offers collections tracing the histories of Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann University.
