Library access with no student card

Basically I won't be getting my grant and therefore will only be provisionally registering until my grant is cleared so until then I won't get my student card. So how will library access work? I am not doing a course where I can just float along until I really need the library.

I heard you can just pay in ...is this true?

You don't need to pay, as far as I remember you can sign in with your student number for tge first few weeks at least. And you'll still be registered, you just won't get your card!

If you're only a first year you'll probably not need to use the library much for the first few months anyway.

You'll be registered, just without a card. You'll just have to give your student number at the door whenever you want to use the library. You won't be able to take books out but you can read them in there and copy any bits you need.

Its a few years ago since I was in NUIM but I know they did let students into the library for the first while without student cards, but midyear or after all grants have been cleared as far as I remember they charged a euro! This may have changed though but you should be fine!
