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.
However, please note we do not offer a computing or email account. Guest Wi-Fi is available to use within the building or you can use the visitor PC.
Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot offer access to most online resources. A limited number of online resources are available through the Visitor PC.

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.
