How to apply

If you have not done so already, the first step is to apply on the SCONUL website. After that, your application will be sent to your home university for verification. When verification is complete, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance for the scheme.

The next step is to apply for membership with us. Please fill in this form.

Once we receive this, we will set up an account for you within ten working days, then contact you when your new library card is ready to collect. When you come to collect your card, please bring your ID card from your home institution, along with a printed or digital copy of your SCONUL acceptance email.

Unless there are outstanding fines or items on your account, we will hold your data for one year after your account is due to expire. If you go on to further study and wish to reapply for SCONUL membership you will need to put in a fresh application through the SCONUL website.
