ON PAUSE: This program is currently on pause to transition to a new system for accepting fees. New applications will be accepted once this transition is completed.
If you need access to the program sooner, we are still able to accept payments made via Mason Money. However, we suggest that guests acquire a guest Mason Money card from the Mason Card Office and add money on to the card there. This needs to be coordinated in advance with our Special Borrowers Specialist. Please email: info@gmu.libanswers.com.
The Library Passport Program is a fee-based service through which Mason Alumni and the general public may borrow circulating books from the University Libraries. The membership application for this program can be found here.
