As you prepare to finish your degree and leave Oxford, here are some things to remember.
Borrowing
If you have borrowed items from any libraries, please make sure you return them before you leave.
You must return items to the library they were borrowed from.
Lost books
Please remember to report any lost items. You must pay lost book charges to the library from which the lost item was borrowed.
Print, Copy and Scan (PCAS) account
We are unable to refund any unused credit on your PCAS account, so we urge you to use it before you leave Oxford.
On request, we can transfer credit to another PCAS account. Please email pcas@bodleian.ox.ac.uk for assistance.
RefWorks account
If you have registered for an individual RefWorks account, you will have lifetime access to that account (for as long as we continue to subscribe).
For more information on RefWorks and the other reference management software we support, see our reference management guide.
Deposit your research in ORA
You can deposit research materials you produced during your enrolment with the University with the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA), the open access archive for University research. This includes articles, conference papers, data and theses. Find out more about depositing your research in ORA.
If you are finishing a research degree, deposit to ORA is a mandatory part of graduation requirements for current students.
Oxford alumni resources and privileges
As a graduate of the University of Oxford, you can apply for a Bodleian Reader card and get non-borrowing access to the Bodleian Libraries after you leave. Alumni can also register free for access to a collection of library subscription resources.
Find out more in our guide for alumni.
Returning students
If you're returning as a student in October to start a new degree at Oxford, you can apply for a temporary Bodleian Libraries Reader card to use during the summer vacation and before your new University card is issued at the start of the next academic year.
Please contact library staff for more information about how to apply.
