On-campus students/faculty: If you are returning to TRU you will need to come to the library to reactivate your library account. Your library PIN will be the same as last year. However, if you've never activated your library account or are new to TRU, your initial library PIN is based on your 6-digit birthdate (YYMMDD). Library PINs are not issued over the telephone.

Distance, Regional and Open Learning students/faculty: If you recently registered (1 week ago or less) as a Distance, Regional or Open Learning student or are a new faculty/staff member, please click here to set up a library account. If you registered more than a week ago, your library PIN should be based on your birthdate... YYMMDD. For example, April 14, 1985 would be 850414.
