Standard loan items are guaranteed for a minimum of 2 weeks, rather than 1 week. Loan lengths for all other items are the same for all undergraduate students.
Up to 30 standard loan items can be borrowed at once. The number of reservations, short loan and other items available to borrow at once is the same for all undergraduate students.
Borrowing terms and limits are slightly more generous for postgraduate students than undergraduate students, you will receive whichever is more generous between the postgraduate and concessionary terms and limits.
