Law Library Privileges
Once graduated, student Pace OneCard IDs no longer grant access to the Pace Law Library. With a Pace Alumni Card (see above on how to obtain one), all alumni have free reading and stack privileges. Alumni are not allowed borrowing privileges books from the Pace Law Library; alumni may obtain borrowing privileges and access to document delivery services by joining the Friends of the Law Library. Membership in Friends of the Law Library is free for all graduates for the remainder of the calendar year in which they graduated; after that, it is available to Pace Law School alumni for a nominal fee.

Merchandise for Alumni

Online Community
The Pace Alumni Online Community is a free and secure forum, accessed via the Pace University website. The online community allows all Pace alumni (including Pace Law School alumni) from around the world to reconnect, exchange ideas, and network with each other over the Internet. Its features include a searchable database, the ability to update your own contact information, message boards, news, career resources, and more.

Permanent Email
Pace Law School alumni who graduated after 2010 will continue to have access to their Pace Law School email accounts. Pace Law School alumni who graduated prior to 2010 do not have access to their email accounts. Pace Law School alumni  may obtain a free permanent email address that never expires or changes. Even during a job change or email provider change, the free permanent alumni email address remains the same. All that needs to be done is to change the forwarding email address. To obtain a free permanent email address, alumni must sign into the Pace Alumni Online Community (see above); once there, alumni can enter a preferred email name that will be the first part of the permanent email address (i.e. yourname@alumni.pace.edu).
