Renewals

Exeter students

Auto-renewals from mid July 2023:

All Exeter loans made from 25 July 2023 are borrowed for one week but will renew automatically, one week at a time.. All loans are still subject to recall.

This means you can generally keep items for as long as you need them, but please do bring items back if they are recalled - someone else is waiting!  

Loans made earlier in 2023 will retain their original due date until that is reached.  They will then auto renew on a weekly basis.

You can check due dates online in "My Library account"

  • Select 'My Loans'
  • Choose all or select specific items
  • Renew 

You cannot renew if the item:

  • has been requested by someone else
  • is already auto-renewed
  • if your library record is blocked or expired

If you need advice or help, please get in touch  

Penryn students 

Check your local library account here.  All Penryn loans are borrowed for one week but will renew automatically, one week at a time, for a year. All loans are subject to recall.

This means you can generally keep items for as long as you need them, but please do bring items back if they are not renewed - someone else is waiting!  Note that you will be charged a daily fine for late return of items requested by another user, and replacement costs for non-return of items.
