How Do I?

There are several ways you can request to have your library account activated.

  1. Use the online form for Full Sail University Library Card Application.
  2. Email staff@library.fullsail.com and provide your full name, ID badge number, email, mailing address, and phone number.
  3. In-person at the Library.

You can access your KOHA library account at fullsail.bywatersolutions.com.

If your library account is established already, you'll use your student number as the user name. If you're a member of the faculty or staff, your user name is your employee id badge number. The default password for everyone is changeme (all lower case, no spaces). We can reset the password if necessary.

If you do not have a library account, please complete the request form posted at:  https://one.fullsail.edu/support/knowledge_base_articles/administrative/829. Your account will be set up by a member of the library team, typically within 24 hours, and you'll receive an email with information and instructions about logging in.

Online students may request books from the campus library. Complete the search using KOHA library catalog. When you find the materials you want, add them to your KOHA cart. You'll send the cart to library@fullsail.com. A member of our team will pull the requested items, and send them to you by FedEx. You'll also receive pre-paid shipping materials to return the items to the Library.

You will need a library account to check out materials. If you don't have one already, you may fill out the online account application

Total Media

  • 5 books
  • 5 movies
  • 1 game

* Total combined maximum of 5 items

Maximum Check Out Period is 21 days

You can place an item on hold by searching the online library catalog and clicking the “Place hold” link on the right hand side of the page. When you're on the hold screen, the record will indicate how many other library users have the item on hold ahead of you.

You can renew any eligible items by logging in to your online library profile. Items may be renewed a maximum of three times before they must be returned. In addition, if an item is on hold for another patron, it will be ineligible for renewal and must be returned before the due date to avoid overdue charges.

You may check the due dates of library items by logging into your KOHA library account. Online students may check out materials for a maximum of 21 days.

Overdue Fines

Books: 25¢/day

DVDs/games: $1.00/day

  1. Campus students can pay their library charges in person, in cash, at the library circulation desk.
  2. Students may also pay their library charges in person at the Full Sail Business Office. The Business Office accepts both cash and credit payments.
  3. To pay library charges online, click on the “My Finances” tab on your Connect account and choose “Make a Payment Online.” Go through the steps to “Add a Payment Method” if you have not already done so. Enter the amount and click “Pay” and then “Confirm Payment.” You should receive a confirmation number and the payment should appear under your “Account Details.” Once you receive this confirmation number, email BusinessOffice-StudentAccounts@fullsail.com with the confirmation number, letting the Business Office know that the payment is to be applied to your library fines.

For articles or books the Full Sail University Library does not have in its collection, an Interlibrary Loan request can be submitted by using the link below. The Library team will then request the item from libraries that have the material. Include as much item information as possible in your email to ensure we locate the correct item. You will receive an email once the request is received and filled, and again when the item is received and sent to you, either via mail (for physical items) or via email (for digital items). It can take anywhere from one day to two weeks to fill your ILL request. Keep this is mind when requesting an item. Full Sail students and staff members can check out one ILL book at a time and can check out unlimited ILL journal articles.
