New Term & Time to Get Revising

Welcome back to the new and final term of the academic year.

By now you should have all received your final print credit top up which should hopefully see you through to the end.  However, I have noticed a lot of you printing loads of practice exam papers, so if you do need more credit, don't despair - you can pay for further credit and can put as little as 10p on, if you need it.

So what is coming up this term - well, it's exam time so make the most of the LRC for your revision.  We have just created a new display that provides lots of revision tips and advice, useful resources and details of the all important exam timetable.

Normal opening hours have resumed so you can carry on studying until 5.15pm on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursdays.

If you have any problems finding the right resource for your studies - please make use of the friendly LRC staff who will be happy to point you in the right direction!

Wishing you all lots of luck for your forthcoming exams and coursework deadlines!

It might be the holidays next week - but the LRC is still open for study!
