Alumni

Your student email account will expire four months after you complete your degree, at which point it will change from yoursoasID@soas.ac.uk into an alumni email account in the form of yoursoasID@alumni.soas.ac.uk.

There are two types of alumni cards, a reference only card and a borrowing card. Both allow you to enter the SOAS buildings and library, but the borrowing library card also enables you to take out up to six books at any one time. The reference only card is free and the borrowing card costs £60 per year.

You can apply for both versions of the card through the SOAS Library Alumni Membership application form - submit all the information required and a photo. An online payment will be required for borrowing cards. A few days after you have submitted the application form, the Library will get in touch to let you know when your card is ready to be collected at the Library information desk.
