Off-campus access to Exam Papers

Past exam papers can be accessed from the library website. See our Exam Papers guide for information on how to do this.

If you're accessing the exam papers from off-campus you'll be prompted to log in.

You can find the username and password for off-campus access to exam papers here by entering your student or DIT staff number and library PIN. Please note that the username and password for off-campus access to the Exam Papers is different to those that you use to access library databases and e-journals.

Alternatively, call the library at 01-402-3068 or send us a message through Ask a Librarian and we'll help you to log in.
