All currently enrolled RCC students, faculty, staff, and administrators, as well as students at other Massachusetts public colleges, are eligible for borrowing privileges. Please present your current RCC photo ID card (or Massachusetts public college ID card) at the Circulation Desk to borrow materials.

When accessing online resources, students will be prompted to log in with their @roxbury.edu email address and the last 4 digits of their student ID number. Faculty and staff will use their @rcc.mass.edu email address and a custom 4-digit PIN number. Please contact the library if you need to reset your PIN.

Since RCC is a member of the Higher Education Libraries of Massachusetts (HELM) network, anyone eligible to borrow materials from the RCC Library also has borrowing privileges at HELM and FLO member libraries.

  • Fifty items may be borrowed at a time.
  • Faculty members may borrow media materials and equipment for classroom presentations.
  • Students may use media materials within the library.
  • Reference books and periodicals do not circulate and must be used within the library.
