The University of Chicago Library welcomes visitors to its spaces and to consult its collections. We also want to ensure any visit to the Library is enjoyable, welcoming, and safe.

Access Appointments for Visitors

All visitors must visit the ID & Privileges Office in the outer lobby of Regenstein when the ID & Privileges Office is open to present proof of vaccination in order to be given a visitor pass or ongoing card access to the University of Chicago Library.

Appointments to establish access are recommended but not required.

Proof of Vaccination Requirements

All visitors must provide upon arrival:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID
• Verbal confirmation of not having experienced any COVID-19 symptoms during the days leading up to and including the period of visit.
• Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination (digital pictures, verification apps, and copies are acceptable) using a vaccine authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). Full vaccination is reached two weeks after a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a one-dose vaccine.

Documents must be in or translated to English. Responsibility rests on visitors to provide convincing evidence of meeting these requirements to the ID & Privileges Office staff.
