Borrowing & Renewing

How do I join the Library?

Your Student ID Card is your library card and is available from the Library.

In order to have a card made you will need to present one of the following:

  • Last year’s EIT student ID Card
  • EIT Login form
  • Fees invoice
  • EIT course Acceptance letter

You will not be issued with any library items unless you have your card with you.
Should you lose your card, replacement ID cards cost $5.00.
