University accounts
Students and staff receive a full user account:
- Students will be notified of their account details via email. Accounts will be activated once they have registered with the University.
- Staff should go to the IT Service Desk in the library with either your library card or your contract and a form of ID to request an account.
Other people, such as volunteers or visiting staff, can receive tailored access to University IT resources by completing an IT Approval Form and sending it to their Designated Maintainer.
Temporary Accounts
Temporary accounts will be granted to conference delegates, guest lecturers or other short-term visitors. Only members of staff can request accounts for visitors.
Normally three types of accounts are issued:
- Wi-Fi only account, which grants the user access to the wireless networks (eduroam)
- Full account, which grants the user desktop and wireless access
- Full account with Moodle, which grants the user desktop, wireless and Moodle access (a valid email address is required)
Acceptable use
All individuals accessing computing and network facilities are required to adhere to DDaT Policies. Activity is logged and monitored in accordance with DDaT Monitoring Policy.
Specific attention is drawn to:
Changing Your Password
You will have been issued with a randomly generated password. You can (and should if you will be using the account for more than a couple of days) change it using the Password Changer.
Help and support
If you're a student or member of staff, get help through the IT Self-Service Portal.
If you need help in person, or you're visiting the University, go to the IT Service Desk on level 2 of the Library. The team can advise on what support is available to you.
