You can continue to borrow items from the JCU Library after completing your studies. You might use these to support your career, your professional development, or life-long learning goals.

Alumni are offered Community Borrower membership of the Cairns and Townsville libraries. This means you can borrow up to 20 items for two weeks at a time.  Get started by completing the membership registration form.

JCU Alumni can register to access content from the ProQuest database and the National Geographic Archive (1888 - 1994).
