Who may use the Snell Library?
- Northeastern University students, faculty, and staff with a current, valid, Student or Faculty/Staff Husky Card (including Kaplan Husky Card).
During regular service hours only :
- Alumni of Northeastern with valid Alumni Husky Card,
- Faculty Emeriti, retired faculty, and retired staff with a valid Retiree Husky Card,
- Members of partner institutions, with current, valid photo identification from your home institution (more about partner institutions).
During regular service hours, Northeastern University students, faculty, and staff may enter the Library by providing their valid NU ID number to the security desk proctor, if they do not happen to have their Husky Card with them. This is intended to be an occasional courtesy rather than a regular means of access to the Library.
