How do I apply?
You should ask in person for a Registration form during office hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) or registrations with credit card payment are accepted on weekends.
Students will be asked to present a photo ID as well as proof of current enrolment. This could be your enrolment advice form or other proof from your university.

Loan periods
-
The Library varies conditions of loan to meet the needs of particular groups of users, and to maximise the availability of resources.
An item on loan to you may be recalled if it is urgently required by another user. The loan period will be reduced to seven days and you will be notified of the new due date by email.

- You may access many of the Library's electronic resources on public access terminals. Off-campus access to electronic resources is not available.
- Requests for interlibrary loan and document delivery are not part of this scheme and should be made to the library of the university at which you study or work.
You may renew the loan of a book using MyLibrary on or before the due date.
A loan may not be renewed if another user is waiting for the book or if you have already renewed it for the maximum number of renewals allowed.
