From borrowing laptops for exams to seeking expert study support, your campus library is a great place to help you manage study stress this exam and assessment season.

The library loans laptops to ACU students. Depending on which campus you’re on, you can borrow from the information desk or one of our self-service laptop lockers. You can even use library laptops for exams, so we’ve got you covered when technology lets you down!

Scheduling your study time can reduce stress and help you stay productive. Our bookable study rooms allow you to nab a space just for you or for a group of friends to ensure a seat and uninterrupted study time. You also have the flexibility to access library spaces after business hourswith your student card, so you can study around your schedule.

Little interruptions can feel like big stressors when you’re studying for exams. The library has dedicated quiet zones that help you stay calm and focused. Just look for the silent zone signs and grab a seat in that area for a peaceful study session.

Trouble finding a resource? Struggling to put together your reference list for an assessment? Don't panic, library staff are on hand to help you out on campus and through our chat, email and book a librarian services.

Need a brain break? It's so important to take time to reset, so feel free to curl up in a cosy corner to take a breather. We’ll also have study snacks on offer from Monday 9 November to Friday 20 November.
