Getting ready to come to University

We look forward to welcoming you into your accommodation.

Your library card

Your library card is your official proof of ID on campus. You can use it to get access to buildings.

Before you leave home, you need to register online and upload a photo of yourself for your library card. We will then be able to create your card so it's ready for you to use when you get here.

What to bring, what not to bring

We recommend that you bring a minimal amount of belongings.

Before packing your bags, look at our list of things to bring with you. You should also read our list of things you are not allowed to bring.

If you are coming from overseas, you can send your belongings to the University for collection when you arrive.
