This Community Learning Access Program is part of JUC’s broader commitment to making educational resources available to a wider audience, beyond its student body, and aligns with its mission to contribute positively to society. Through this initiative, Jesselton University College reaffirms its dedication to providing inclusive and equitable access to education, supporting the growth and well-being of the wider community.
Since its introduction in 2023, JUC’s Community Learning Access Program (CLAP) has continued to provide free access to educational resources for members of the public who are not enrolled as JUC students. Over the years, members of the surrounding community, independent learners and other visitors have utilised JUC’s educational facilities and resources, including the physical library, e-library, computer facilities, study spaces and digital learning resources. The continued use of these resources demonstrates JUC’s ongoing commitment to extending educational opportunities beyond its enrolled student community and supporting lifelong learning through free public access.
Through this initiative, public can utilize JUC’s state-of-the-art facilities, including computer labs, study rooms, and research equipment, at no cost. The program is designed to ensure that everyone, regardless of their affiliation with the university, has the opportunity to benefit from these high-quality resources for research, personal projects, or study.
Additionally, JUC’s extensive physical library and e-library will be accessible to the public, offering a vast collection of academic journals, e-books, research papers, and other digital resources. This access is especially valuable for individuals who may not be enrolled in formal courses but are eager to continue their education or enhance their knowledge.
Dr. Louis, president of JUC, highlighted the importance of this initiative: “We believe that education should be accessible to all. By opening our facilities and e-library to the public, we are fostering a culture of lifelong learning and empowering individuals to pursue their academic and professional goals.”
Public access to JUC’s facilities and library will be available during designated hours, with staff on hand to assist users. For more information, the public is encouraged to visit JUC’s official website or contact the administration office at [email protected]
