Library cards
Your student Unicard also acts as your library card. You will not be able to borrow items without your card.
If you lose your Unicard, please report it to the library as soon as possible. This is in your interests as well as ours, as you may be liable to replace any items borrowed on the card after it has been lost or stolen. Replacement cards can be issued; a charge of £10 will be made.
Door control cards (for Computing and Media students only) cost £5 to replace.
