Alumni Card Bryant alumni wishing to use the Douglas and Judith Krupp Library need to obtain an Alumni Card from the Alumni Office. To obtain an alumni card, call the Office of Alumni Relations at 401- 232-6040 or e-mail the office at: [email protected] . The alumni card is issued at no cost to anyone who has been awarded a degree from Bryant University.

Once an Alumni Card has been acquired, you must fill out a library application at Borrower Services at the Douglas and Judith Krupp Library. The barcode number for your alumni card will be issued at this time. Your Alumni Card can be activated at any time the library is open. ( library hours )
