Learning Resource Centre (LRC) Induction
The LRC, at the heart of the campus, provides you with both traditional and new library services and is open 7 days a week from 8am to 9pm. You have access to a range of resources in different formats – print and digital – to enable you to complete your studies. The LRC also provides different places to study that accommodate different needs and learning styles.
Accessing Library and IT resources
Once you have matriculated online, using your QMU Student number, access to the QMU network, including email, e-portfolios, word processing etc. will be enabled. Full details of the process will be set out on QMU Student Portal.
You must have a current Student ID Smartcard to borrow Library resources. You can request a Smartcard once via the Student Portal once you have completed online matriculation.
