Check your library account online!

Want to know if you have library fines that will block your grades or registration? Want to know if a book you ordered from another campus has arrived? Want to know when your books are due? Want to renew your books before you get fined?

YES!

You can check your library account online - no problem. On the library front page is a short video tutorial (requires Windows Media Player) showing you how - step by step.

You need your student ID number: It is the seven digit number, not your SSN, that you used to register. The PIN is 1234 (unless you changed it.)

Wake Tech Student ID cards R Mandatory

All students need a student ID to check out library material - including reserves - from the library.


Don't get burned! The more you need the book, the more you need an ID.
