General access to LCC site for self-directed learning
There is no general access to the LCC site or course neighbourhood areas for self-directed learning during the summer break from the end of term, except for MA students up to 23 July.
This is because many of our spaces will be under essential maintenance and improvements works over the summer period.
LCC Technical spaces
Postgraduate students
The College’s Technical areas will remain open to postgraduate and MA students from 21 June until 23 July 2021.
Access to Technical Resources will be split into two periods:
- 21 June – 2 July: All postgraduate students can continue to book access through the ORB
- 5 – 23 July: Access only for postgraduate students with negotiated Additional Access
If you wish to access resources between 5 – 23 July, you will be required to submit an Additional Access form.
This form is a proposal outlining the work you would like to create and the resources you would like to access, and will help the technical teams to evaluate whether the resources you need will be available during this period.
To make an Additional Access request, visit the Technical Resources Moodle site, where you will find an “Additional Access” page. All the information you need is on this page, including a downloadable form, and contact details.
