FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
Welcome back, Owls! To help you navigate the new semester, we’ve created a guide to get you up to date on our resources and programs, so you can make the most of your first few weeks on campus.
Swipe + Study:
Beginning this semester, the Wimberly Library will only be accessible by Owl and Panther Card! For the safety of our patrons, we are requiring all students, faculty, and staff to swipe in and out of the Wimberly Library during all operating hours. More details about our entry and exit process can be found here.
