Once logged in, click on the down arrow next to your student number or name, and click on ‘My Account’
Chose the ‘Loans’ tab. It will have a red watch icon next to it if there are items you can renew
You can click the down arrow next to the entry and it will give you more details. To renew, click the renew blue watch icon. When they have renewed you’ll see the yellow banner and see ‘Renewed’ and the new date.
If you are not able to renew, you will see a black ‘not renewable’ padlock.
If you hover your curser over the padlock, or click on it on a touchscreen, a pop-up will tell you why it is not renewable. If you are not sure why you can’t renew or you think you should be able to renew, it may be because of the rules we have about loans.
