All that is needed is an RIT ID card (available from the Registrar's office).

Your account expires each year and can be renewed by presenting your RIT ID at the Circulation Desk.
All RIT Osher Institute students who have a current annual membership have the privilege of using Wallace Library’s circulating book collection, electronic resources, and interlibrary loan services at this time. Osher students who do not have an annual membership do not have any library privileges.
Note: RRLC Access cards may be given out to Osher Institute students with a current annual membership if a good case is made for obtaining the card—they are not given out lightly.
