Bloch Alumni and Advancement Center

A "home away from home" to keep alumni connected to the University and one another. Located at 300 East River Road.

Alumni ID Card

A University Alumni ID card is required for many campus services. Cards may be obtained free of charge from the River Campus ID office located in the Customer Service Center on the first floor of Susan B. Anthony Hall. For hours of operation, please call (585) 275.3975.

School-based Career Centers

Even after graduation, Rochester alumni still have access to the various tools and services provided by the Gwen M. Greene Center for Career Education and Connections and school-based career centers. Visit the links below to learn more about the resources available to you.

Interfaith Chapel

Many alumni find this the ideal location to integrate the spirit of Meliora into their weddings, memorials, and other events. Space in the chapel is limited, so submit your request today!

Parking

One visit per month is allowed free of charge for alumni on the River Campus. Please show your Alumni ID to take advantage of this benefit. Beyond that, the University requires visitors to purchase one-day permits at the visitors' booth near the Elmwood Avenue entrance. Note that parking is free between 7 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. Monday–Friday and throughout the weekend in non-reserved spaces on the River Campus.

Robert B. Goergen Athletic Center

The R Club offers exclusive membership, providing access to the entire complex. Out of town alumni have access to all facilities with a University Alumni ID card and a daily fee. The Athletic and Aquatic Center hours may change periodically to accommodate varsity athletics or special events. Please call (585) 275-7643 with any questions.

Education Verification: Transcript Requests

Make official transcript requests via the Registrar’s office website. Alumni and students will be charged a nominal fee for transcripts, depending on the delivery option selected.

In support of our transgender and gender-expansive alumnx, the University of Rochester will provide a complimentary, no-cost, reprint of diplomas for members of these communities so that this important symbol of their time at UR can represent who each of our graduates are authentically. To take advantage of this service, please contact Associate Director of Alumni Relations Lauren McKenna at lauren.mckenna@rochester.edu.
