The USC Libraries extend students' borrowing privileges and remote access to databases and electronic resources for a semester (one academic term) after the last semester of enrollment in courses. We are unable to extend interlibrary-loan eligibility to graduating students, however.
Past this period, alumni do not have remote access to the USC Libraries databases and electronic resources. Alumni are not eligible for USC interlibrary loan services.
Alumni are encouraged to visit their local public library for access to popular business resources. See below:
Find your library via the Southern California Library Cooperative page.
Our "Accessing Library Resources After Graduation" page also provides information on freely accessible resources with scholarly content.
For additional information about borrowing privileges, please check the alumni tab on the borrowing policies page.
