Welcome to Information Services (IS) - Learn Welsh Students

Information Services provide IT and library services to registered students at Aberystwyth University, subject to Regulations and Guidelines.

To make use of our facilities you will need an Aberystwyth University IT account and an Aber Card.

Students who have registered on a Learn Welsh course via the NCLW national online registration system, paid their course fee and started attending classes can apply for access to Information Services by contacting the Learn Welsh office at learnwelsh@aber.ac.uk. This request must come from the email address you used on the national online system to register on the course.

Please note: Access to facilities is provided only while you are registered on the course. Under the terms of the NCLW scheme, an absence of 4 consecutive weeks will be taken as withdrawal from the course, your registration will be ended and your IT account/Aber card ended.

Your IT account

Your IT account gives you access to:

Your Abercard

Once you have activated your IT account you can apply for your Aber Card online.

Aber Cards must be collected from the Hugh Owen Library; it is not possible for us to post these to you.

Your Aber card is used:

as your student id
to purchase food in University hospitality outlets
for library borrowing, including the use of self-issue machines
to access the library out of core hours (to enter and exit)
for printing, photocopying and scanning
as your Sports Centre card
