More places to study
Study spaces can get busy as exams approach, so please be mindful of others. If you're using a pod, booth or study nook with spare seats, make room for someone else to join you. Sharing these spaces helps everyone find a spot to study.
Some buildings may require your Canterbury Card for access, so make sure you have it with you.
