Christ Church offers
As a former student you are entitled to a range of discounted rates on University services.
Library and online resources
You can still be a member of the Library at Christ Church after you have completed your course. You can now join for FREE in the first year after Graduation and we’ve significantly reduced membership for any years after that to £20.
We also don’t want anyone who may have graduated in 2020 to miss out due to COVID-19, so you can still apply for a free year of alumni membership too.

You also have open access to the Learning Skills Hub, which is developing a specific outduction/ alumni section with modules such as Finding information when you have left university.
You can also continue to access your Refworks account, you just need to make changes to your account before you leave the University to switch this to an alumni account. Follow the guidelines here.
