Remote Database Access
While licensing terms for most databases stipulate that remote (off-campus) access is restricted to current students, faculty, and staff, there are some databases available for alumni. To gain access to these databases, please fill out the alumni database remote access form to request the necessary login information. If you have already received alumni login information, you can login to receive access to the databases.
Access to RefWorks
RefWorks accounts created while an active CC student will remain active as long as the library continues its RefWorks subscription. Alumni cannot create new RefWorks accounts.
While Colorado College is a private institution and our primary mission is to serve the educational needs of our students, we do make our collections open to the public as much as possible.
