Graduation Time! What you need to know about graduating and the library

Hello all! The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, finals are looming, it's that time of year.........graduation! But before you walk, receive your diploma, attend the requisite parties, and get on with the rest of your life, there are a few things you need to know about your library account in order for this process to go as smoothly as possible.

First, do you know if you have items that are checked out, overdue, or of you have fines? If not, you can find this information by logging into your account from our website. You can accomplish this by clicking on either 'My Account' or 'Go to Catalogue' and entering your ID Number as your login and your capitalized last name as your password (or whatever you've set it to if you've changed it). As long as you have given us a current e-mail address, you should also receive e-mails letting you know that you have library business to take care of. If you notice any problems, or things that don't look right, please come talk to us so we can resolve any issues!

Next, any fines you may have, or items you have checked out must be paid or returned on or before May 14th in order for you to receive your diploma. Please be aware that we are only open until 4:30pm on the 14th and will be closed the Saturday and Sunday of graduation weekend (the 15th and 16th), so you will need to take care of everything library related prior to this time.

Last, your library privileges don't end with graduation! All you will need is an alumni ID card, which you can obtain by a quick visit to the Office of Alumni Relations. With this card you will have many of the same borrowing privileges you had as a student. If you have any questions about how to obtain the alumni card, or about its associated benefits, you can call 888.UH.ALUMS or email alumni@hartford.edu.

Good luck on finals, and we wish you the very best in your post-University of Hartford adventures!
