Alumni benefits

Your Alumni Card enables you to access a variety of benefits and services.

The City St George’s, University of London Alumni Card enables graduates to access libraries and on-campus services outlined below.

Following the merger between City, University of London and St George’s, University of London we are working towards our services being unified. During the interim, any differences in process are explained below.

If you have any questions relating to the Alumni Card, please contact the relevant team listed at the bottom of this page.

The benefits of an Alumni Card

The Alumni Card gives access to:

  • Northampton Square Library at Clerkenwell
  • St George’s Library at Tooting
  • The Business Library at Moorgate
  • The Law Library at Clerkenwell
  • Discounted membership of CitySport gym and its sports facilities.

The benefits and services that graduates can access with their Alumni Card may change from time to time; please refer to the Alumni benefits page for the latest information.

The Alumni Card is valid for 3 years at which time it expires. Alumni can apply for a renewal of their card.

The Alumni Card is not a student discount card, nor does it give access to student discount programmes such as UNiDAYS, TOTUM, Student Beans etc.

Who can apply for an Alumni Card?

  • Alumni Cards are only available to graduates who have completed their Undergraduate, Postgraduate or Doctoral studies. Cards are not available to unsuccessful leavers, former staff members or those who have studied a short course.

  • Alumni cannot apply for an Alumni Card until they have completed their course and the University systems recognise them as a graduate. Typically, graduation periods are very busy and therefore application processing can take longer than usual. We ask for your understanding and apologise for any delays.

Applying for and collecting an Alumni Card

  • Alumni Cards are for in-person, on-campus collection only.

  • Alumni Cards must be collected by the alumnus/a named on the Card. For Card collection, alumni are required to present photographic ID that matches the name on the Card.

  • Alumni should wait for confirmation that their Card is ready for collection before coming to collect. If you haven’t received a confirmation email, but are planning to visit, please contact us to check the progress of your application.

  • If you are a graduate of Clerkenwell or Moorgate campuses, Cards can be collected from the Security Office at either Northampton Square or Bunhill Row.

  • The Security Desks at Clerkenwell and Moorgate campuses are open from 9am-9pm on weekdays, and 10am-5pm on weekends.

  • If you are a graduate from our Tooting Campus (formerly St George’s) your card must be collected from the St George’s Library at Tooting, Hunter Wing, first floor.

  • The Library at Tooting is staffed from Monday-Friday 8am-6pm. To initially collect your alumni card, alumni will need to attend in-person during these hours.

  • The Library at Tooting is open 24/7 for anyone with a valid ID card/account except for the summer break, when it is open 8am-11pm Monday-Friday and 10-6 at weekends.

  • Alumni Cards are for the user named on the card and are non-transferable. Alumni should also ensure they have another form of ID with them when coming to any campus building.

Library access for Alumni Card holders

  • The Alumni Card allows access to City St George’s libraries at Clerkenwell and Moorgate for the purpose of self-study and reference only during staffed hours. To borrow books, a borrower registration form must be completed separately and only once a physical Alumni Card has been issued.
    • Further information is available on the library services website.

  • Please note, for Tooting alumni to access the Library at Tooting, a library registration form must be completed regardless of whether you wish to borrow books or not as the Alumni Card must be activated by the Library to gain access.

  • Tooting alumni can borrow up to five books from the Library at Tooting once they have registered there.

  • As part of the Alumni Card application process for Tooting graduates, alumni will be emailed a link to the Tooting Library registration form should they wish to access the Library there.

  • When using any university library, Alumni may be asked to present their Alumni Card to staff. The Card is for the named user only, is non-transferable, and cannot be shared with others.

The Alumni Card does not enable Alumni to:

  • Book or use a computer in the library, though Alumni may bring their own laptop and charger
  • Book a room
  • Print
  • Access Eduroam wifi
  • Access the full online library and online resources. These are only available for current students.

Discounted gym membership
