LRC Laptops

As many of you will have noticed we are struggling to loan fully charged laptops out during the afternoons.

Therefore we have decided to limit the access to laptops in the LRC from 12.00pm until 1.00pm in order to allow us to charge them fully for the afternoon sessions.

 We apologise for the inconvenience.

Half Term Opening

Thanks to everyone that participated in Literacy Week last week - the event was a huge success and lots of lucky students won some cash prizes!  You can look out for the Word of the Day Story Competition winner in the forthcoming student newspaper.

Half term is fast approaching - this term has gone so fast!  Just to make you all aware that the LRC will remain open over half term, but with reduced hours.  So we will be open from 9.30am every day, closing at 3.30pm.  You must remember to bring your student ID card with you during the holidays and sign in at the main reception first.
