External contractors and agency workers can have a Building Access Smartcard for the duration of their job on campus. In order to process this request the library needs the following: 

• A guarantor letter/email from the school/service administrators sent to libraryhelp@ncl.ac.uk. This correspondence needs to include:
  • The full name of the contractor/employee
  • Which agency they are working for
  • A start date and end date for their time on campus 

A head and shoulders passport style photograph in JPEG format must also be included as an attachment. 

Only when we are in receipt of all the above can the new smartcard be created. We will inform you by email when it is ready to collect. 

Door access will need to be added by the named contact for that service or building. A list is available here: Smartcard Access Contacts

If you are a student support worker please see the attached FAQ.
