NB: If you need to access the Mac Suite after 5pm or on a Saturday or Sunday, you must obtain the swipe card from the Porter’s Lodge where you will need to leave your student card as a deposit until you return the swipe card.
• Once all drawings/writings have been uploaded, we will create an online ‘exhibtion’ of your work.
