Report your off-campus e-access problem by submitting a question to Ask a Librarian.
Do I have to register for a library account for off-campus electronic access?
No. As a student you are registered for electronic services such as network, email, internet and access to the Library's electronic resources and your library account to renew your books online, as soon as you are registered for the current academic year.
When off-campus and prompted to sign-on, sign in with your campus Username and Password.
I am busy with research from my PhD, how do I get off-campus e-access?
In order to obtain off-campus access to the library's e-resources, prospective postgraduate students need to apply online to be enrolled as a network registered prospective postgraduate student at Stellenbosch University, see Off-campus electronic access.
Postgraduates can apply online for submission through the University's application system (SUNStudent applicant portal). This process is handled by the University's Admission Office.
