Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)

Community college students who participate in the Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) with UCLA are eligible for a free library card, which is valid only in the Powell and Young Research Libraries and has an annual September 30 expiration date. Holders can have five items checked out at one time, can renew items once, and cannot recall items or place interlibrary loan requests. These cards are issued only at the Powell Library Inquiry Desk.  Students must bring the following:

  • TAP library card authorization form, signed by an authorized honors program staff member from their community college
  • A current photo ID

Library Cards and Access to Online Materials
