Owl Cards are not required to obtain remote

access to the library but are still useful to have on hand.

Check out this page for information related to the FAU Owl Card.  

The Owl Card Center accepts online requests for in-person pick-up via an online form. Their locations, hours, and the online request form can be accessed by visiting their Locations Page HERE. 

Owl Card Center: 

Fill in the request form with the required information. If you do not wish to visit the physical library you do not have to request a physical card-- choose the FAU Library Number option to be emailed to you. 

Your card allows you:

  • Anytime access! A valid Owl Card is required to gain physical entrance to the Libraries' Main Boca Campus building during non-public hours from 10pm- 7am, Sunday through Friday.  
  • Easy Access! The library has gates that are active during all business hours. While the library is open to the public, anybody without an Owl Card is required to sign-in at the service desk as a visitor. Visitors also are required to alert the front desk on departure so as to have the gate opened for them.  With your Card in hand, you can swipe in & out and keep on going. 
  • Material Access! With the power of your Owl Card, you can check out print material to take with you. Need to access one of the reserve items located at the front desk? Now you can do that, too. 
  • ILL Requests! Electronic & print material not in FAU's collection can be requested through our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) department. Users must create an account and a library card number is required. After creating an ILL account, users will then only be required to sign in with their FAUNet ID and password.
