Colchester & Loughton

To join us as a SCONUL Access student, you will need to bring your SCONUL Access confirmation, home university ID card, proof of address and photo ID e.g. driving license.

If you have been given band A, B or C access, once signed up you will be able to borrow up to 5 items from our main collection.

If you have been given band R (Reference) then you will be able to use the material on the shelf but will not be able to borrow.
 

WIFI 

If your home institution uses Eduroam wifi, you can connect to Eduroam in our libraries on your own device. 

If you don't have access to Eduroam, you can connect to the Essex Guest wifi.
