When a student has enrolled at Ulster, an email address is automatically created based on their name. This is your Outlook Live account name followed by @email.ulster.ac.uk

Student email and Skydrive file storage are provided through Microsoft's Office 365 services.

Students can easily access their email via:

  • University Portal - Once you log into the portal there are Quick links to Email and Skydrive
  • You can go directly to your email, calendar and file storage at outlook.com using your Ulster email address and password to Sign In

Application Platform Delivery

Business Process
(from a user perspective)

  • Central Authentication Service (CAS) creates a secure way for users to access multiple services with a single sign-on.
  • Identity Management solutions are deeply embedded within university business processes. When new students or staff join the University or when roles change, staff react immediately (updating AD/SD) to enable access to new resources. Tight integration with other enterprise systems ensures that these changes happen in a timely manner.
