Dear Alumni,
The Alumni Association of Peking University would like to thank you for your continuous contribution and support to your alma mater over the years by creating an alumni card for you all. With this card, you will be able to enter the university campus and use library resources. This is the first step in our efforts to provide and develop all kinds of services for our alumni and friends. As we continue our development work, we look forward to offering more varied and convenient services for you all.
 
1.  Alumni Card Uses
 
1)  Identification to enter and exit the campus
2)  Identification to enter and exit the library during off-peak times. The card allows you to read and use standard library resources within the library building (not including fee-paying services, such as using premium resources, CD referencing etc.). In order to ensure that current students are able to revise, the library will not be open to alumni and friends of the university during exam periods at the end of each term. For a detailed timetable, please refer to the noticeboard at the main entrance of the library.
3) Free admission to the Museum of Peking University History and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology at Peking University
4)  Discounted fees for the use of sports facilities.
5) Discounts for purchases at the souvenir department of the Peking University, the Museum of Peking University History souvenir store, and the souvenir department of the Boshi Supermarket
6)  Membership benefits when purchasing books from the readers services department of the Peking University Press (Peking University bookstore)
7)  The card is only authorised to be used by the named holder; lending the card to others is not  permitted
