Laundry card

The machines within the launderette are operated by Circuit. The machines within Harwich Court, The Hex, The Meadows and The Copse are managed via the Circuit app. The machines in the other locations take cards which can be topped up via the machine in the laundrette or online via Circuit's website. The cards can be purchased from reception at University Quays and the common room at University Square for £2 each. We also have a coin machine to use if necessary.

Circuit laundry app

The Circuit Laundry App s is available to use in our South Courts, Hex, The Meadows and The Copse launderettes and will be rolled out to other areas soon.

You can now use our smart-scan technology app for paying for your laundry via your smart phone. This makes doing your laundry less of a hassle. The laundry app lets you top-up your Circuit app account in seconds and then you are good to go. Just turn up at either the South Courts or Hex laundry, load your laundry, scan a machine's QR code and select the programme you want to start - job done! Once the washer or dryer gets going, the app will give you a countdown that tells you how long until your laundry is done.

Check out the user guide online, which shows you how it all works.
