Borrowing
Borrowing is available to current students and staff of the University of Cambridge, including Visiting Scholars and Visiting Students. Loans automatically renew unless the item has been recalled, or your account is due to expire.
Undergraduate students may borrow up to ten items for one week during term. During vacations, undergraduates may borrow up to ten items until the first day of the following term.
M.Phil and Ph.D students may borrow up to 20 items for four weeks.
M.St and other distance learning Masters students of the University may borrow up to 25 items for four weeks.
Visiting Fellows and Scholars may borrow up to 20 items for four weeks or until the end of their visit, whichever is sooner. Borrowing arrangements for Visiting Students correspond with arrangements for the equivalent level of regular student (e.g. undergraduate, M.Phil/Ph.D, etc.).
Members of Cambridge University staff may borrow up to forty items for four weeks.
