- Once your application has been accepted, print out the email verification document you will receive
- You only need to submit one application form for the SCONUL access scheme
- You will need to register at each library you want to visit. It is always best to check what the requirements are at the library in question before your first visit, as some libraries will require a passport photo, for example. The library you are visiting will generally issue you with a library pass so that you can borrow books or gain reference access until your SCONUL Access membership expires. Also please check parking arrangements at each campus you would like to visit. Some libraries participating in the SCONUL Access scheme may also apply their own restrictions, including periods of the year when SCONUL Access members may not visit or may not register, so contact the library in advance of setting out on any potential visit
- You will need to take with you the email verification document you have received and printed out, as well as your UWTSD University ID Card, which carries your Library number
