UNBC Students, Faculty, Staff & Alumni
All UNBC students, faculty, staff, and alumni are registered with the Geoffrey R. Weller Library within 24 hours from registration or status update. This includes Regional and Distance UNBC students, faculty and staff. Note that Alumni are not eligible for regional or distance shipping services for physical material.
To log in to your account click the grey “Login” button and select “Log in with your UNBC username and password.” Online services include requesting or renewing library materials, viewing outstanding fines, and saving lists of material for later review.
Your UNBC ID card is proof of your status on campus, and also acts as your library card. You will find your 14 digit library account number on the back of the your UNBC ID card. Please bring your valid UNBC ID to the Library Services Desk to borrow materials.
Please note: If you obtain a new UNBC Photo ID at anytime in the future, it will take 24 hours before the library system is updated with your new library barcode; however, your university credentials should continue to work.
