Access for FIT Alumni

To ask questions about using the FIT Library, please refer to our Visit the Library page or contact Ask the Library.

Alumni Guidelines

In addition to requesting an appointment and receiving approval, please note:

• Alumni must meet College security regulations which govern access to all College buildings.
• Alumni have access to most materials and services at the library, but there are a few exceptions (subject to change without notice)
• General computer access for internet, email, and word processing is not available for visitors (including alumni). We allow access to some online databases. We can refer you to nearby facilities (a public library or commercial operation) for other needs. We have guest WiFi access if you bring your own device.
• Because of licensing restrictions, some materials are for use by currently-registered FIT students and faculty only–no exceptions. These include forecasting and trend services (TDG/Doneger, WGSN, etc.) and some market research studies (MRI, Mintel, etc.).
• Alumni may only use materials in the Library–no borrowing.
• FIT databases are not available remotely for alumni.

Special Collections and College Archives (SPARC)

Special Collections and College Archives (SPARC) has additional requirements for visiting. Please check the separate appointment procedures for Special Collections & College Archives (SPARC) .
