Distance services

UC Library provides a range of services to support students and staff off-campus.

Am I eligible?

Students

Are you enrolled in:

• A recognised distance course?
• A UC College of Education regional initiative?

If Yes, you are automatically registered for distance privileges.

If No, you may be granted distance privileges if you meet the following criteria:

1. You are a fully enrolled, current UC student.
2. You live outside Canterbury (but within New Zealand). See the map of the Canterbury region on the Environment Canterbury website.
3. You have contacted your department and they will support your study by distance.
4. You have an agreement signed by the UC Equity & Disability Service.

How do I register?

If you meet the above criteria, ask your department to send us a signed service agreement (PDF 77KB).

Current, fully enrolled students living overseas may apply for limited distance services.
