Whether you have embraced the age of online research, or still prefer to physically thumb through good ol’ reference books page by page, Varsity College campus Information Centres ensure you have easy access to the up-to-date, relevant information you need.
1 Information Centre access
Access control at the VC Information Centres requires a valid student card. Students who do not have their student card will not be allowed inside until they have provided a valid identification document.
2 Photocopying and printing
A photocopier is available for both photocopying and printing. Students need to purchase printing and photocopying credits at the cashier and then present their receipt to the IT administrator who will then load credits onto the student’s student card. Please refer to the printing and photocopier procedures in the Information Centre for more information.
3 Information Centre orientation and information services
Information Centre orientation and training on how to use the online databases is provided by campus Information Specialists. To arrange a session, please contact your campus Information Specialist directly.
