Request A Proxy Account

Only those registered with the Library are eligible for a proxy server account. Members of the Rush community can register online or by stopping by the Library Circulation Desk.

It is very important that you register with the library before signing up for a proxy. If registering for the library online, please allow twenty four hours before applying for a proxy account. If registering in person, please inform the library staff that you will be applying for a proxy account. In most cases, upon verification of status, you should receive your proxy USER NAME and PASSWORD within five to seven business days from the date of your application.

If you supply a RUSH email address we will send your USER NAME and PASSWORD to that address. If you have supplied an e-mail address other than a Rush e-mail address, we will send your USER NAME and PASSWORD to the supplied address and also make an attempt to send a courtesy copy to your Rush address.

Please select the category below that best describes your status at Rush and complete the online application. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*). Incomplete forms will delay processing your application.

Please note that for security reasons, this form only works from computers located on the Rush campus. You can also request a proxy server account by contacting the Rush Information Services Department Help Desk at (312) 942-HELP.
