Vacation Admission Procedure for Visitors

During Summer and Christmas undergraduate student vacations restrictions are relaxed for certain categories of visitors. The following categories of visitors are admitted multiple times during staffed hours in these vacations, without the need to apply in writing:

  • University of London undergraduates and taught postgraduates
  • Undergraduates and taught postgraduates from other UK Universities and Colleges
  • Former Queen Mary students, even if not Queen Mary alumni members
  • University of London external degree programme students
  • Visiting PhD students from outside the UK

You will need to visit the Library during Library Staffed Hours (available on the Opening Hours webpage).

You must fill in the visitors Library registration form and show a suitable form of identification to a member of staff at the Welcome Desk to be issued a day pass.

Acceptable forms of identification on a first visit include other University/College ID cards, bank cards, travel cards (with photos), passports, and driving licenses. Any visitor who arrives without a suitable form of ID will not be allowed access to the Library.

Relaxed access to the Library will only be until the end of the vacation in question.
