Database Access Off Campus

In order to login from off campus, you will need to enter the barcode number that appears on your CTU ID card, as well as your last name. If you have not checked out books in the library before, you may need to register your ID card in the library before logging into library databases from off campus.

Access to the library from off campus is available to CTU faculty, students and staff. If you are a student from an ACTS school, but are registered for a CTU class, please contact Lisa Gonzalez to register for off campus access to the library for the semester.

To see all of the library databases available, go to the Find Articles or Find Books & Other Materials pages, or see a combined A-Z list of all databases.
