Distance/Continuing Students - Library Card

Library Cards are available for Distance Education, Continuing Education and other Chang School Students who wish to borrow physical items from the Ryerson Library or from other participating university libraries in Canada (Inter-University Borrowing).

Students have two options: they can choose to apply for a free Library Card at the Circulation Desk by showing their paid fee statements or a letter of acceptance, or they may purchase a Ryerson Photo ID card for $20.00 from the OneCard Office. All cards must be revalidated each term. Loan periods depend on individual items, but generally books may be borrowed for 2 weeks, with 3 renewals. Only 2 reserve items and 3 periodicals/maps may be borrowed at the same time. Interlibrary loans are free.

Note: Access to Articles and all Library e-resources is now available using your my.ryerson username and password. A Library card is no longer required for this service. For more information about accessing e-resources from off-campus, check our Accessing Journals and Articles from home page.

Any questions, please email the Library at access@ryerson.ca
