Distance Library Services
Distance Library Services are offered to UNBC students and Faculty who are enrolled at the regional locations or taking distance courses.
Register for a Library Account
Distance students and faculty who have not been registered with the UNBC Library should fill out a Distance Library Account application.
If you have obtained a UNBC Photo ID, but have not registered with the library, you must also complete a Distance Library Account form in order to have your library account activated. If you obtain a UNBC Photo ID after having received a white Distance Library Account card, please make sure that Distance Services is aware of your new library card number.

Library Account Expiration
All patron library accounts have an annual expiry date of September 30th. You do not need to reapply for a new account every year; simply contact Distance Services to have your existing UNBC library account renewed. We will verify your account information and reset your library PIN if required.
