Schools & Colleges Reference Access Scheme (Lanchester Library): Apply for access

College students or sixth form pupils who wish to visit the library for reference and study purposes on a regular basis can apply for a free Schools & Colleges access card.

To apply for a card the student must see their sixth-form/college head as the procedure is initiated via college/school staff who complete the student’s details on our Schools/Colleges secure online portal.

Once we receive the student’s details from staff we will email the student to invite them to the library welcome desk (8am-7pm). The student must bring their school/college ID and we will create a university library access card for them.

Access to the library for school/college students is from 8am to 7pm.

Students must acknowledge they have read our regulations when applying for access.

The University Library takes the storage and retention of student data seriously.  Please see our privacy notice and data retention policy regarding how we process and retain students’ information.

For information on how to register your school please contact hayley.chevell@coventry.ac.uk or sukhbinder.bharaj@coventry.ac.uk.
