Study Room

Honours students have access to a shared study room (SB.SocSci317). The room is accessed using a proxy (aka swipe) card. The room is available for use by students studying honours & postgraduate coursework programs in the Faculty of Arts. Proxy cards can be purchased from the TUU contact centre. Current student ID must be produced and an application form completed at the time of purchase. To have the card activated for use with the study room please email SEJEL.admin@utas.edu.au with the following information:

• Your name
• Your student ID number
• The number on your proxy card

You will receive a reply by email to let you know that your email has been received and when your card will be ready for use.
Note: if you already have a proxy card from previous study you do not need to purchase another one. Each card can be activated with multiple access permissions.

Inter-library loans

Honours students have access to the Document Delivery Service, which means that the library will track down necessary resources for you from other libraries in Australia or overseas if they are not held at this University. You can register for Document Delivery online by following the instructions at:  http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/dd/index.html. 

At honours level you will be contributing to the research activity of the School and in recognition of this we give you some help towards photocopying costs. A one-off payment of $30 will be credited to your CAPS account (which is linked to your student ID card). It is a good idea to give priority to inter-library loan photocopying, as these resources cannot be requested twice.

Removing the Boundaries

Honours students are encouraged to take part in School activities and especially to attend our fortnightly term-time seminar series, “Removing the Boundaries.” You can find a list of speakers and topics on the web at: http://www.utas.edu.au/ejel/rtb.htm.
