Library alumni account

You can still be a member of the Library at CCCU after you have completed your course. You can join for free in the first year after graduation and at a reduced external membership fee of £20 for any year after that.

Alumni membership gets you access to the library study spaces and print resources. This doesn’t include an IT account and access to online resources, but we provide a visitor PC and you’ll be able to access our guest Wi-Fi to connect your own device.

You also have open access to the Learning Skills Hub, which has a specific outduction/ alumni section, with modules such as finding information when you have left university.

You can also continue to access your Refworks account. You just need to make changes to your account before you leave the University to switch this to an alumni account. 

Find further information about memberships and visitors, including how to apply on the library webpages, on our website.
