FAQs

I already have an EPL library card. Can I still get the L-Pass?

Yes. However, you may find that an L-Pass is not necessary if you already have an EPL library card, because it provides access to all of the same resources and services.

Why do I have to register for this service each year?

MacEwan University welcomes new students every year, while many other students finish their studies and graduate. The L-Pass registration information needs to be updated annually to reflect the changing student population.

I forgot my L-Pass password. How can I reset it?

You can use EPL's Forgot your PIN? service or call any EPL branch to receive assistance with your password. Confirmation of your L-Pass barcode and other account information will be required.
